As we all know, the WidgetKit provide Apple Developer to add their widget to iOS, iPadOS 14 and macOS 11 Big Sur. But if we take an in-depth look at it, you may notice that the background color is white or black by default. And it is not possible to “clear” or blur like a battery widget natively. Therefore, I am developing a new app to allow iOS users customise the widgets with matching their existing wallpaper.

You need to open a new ‘page’ in the home screen and screenshot in both light and dark mode.
