Hello
Recently I became a fan of quote apps. So I looked through them and most of them didn't even have widgets or didn't look that beautiful.
What I am thinking of is a widget that has the style of minimalistic text widget and displays quotes. (custom quotes would be best)
So I am just trying to find a widget that shows quotes as plain white text. Does something like that already exist?

Minimalist text already exists, lol. You do know that you can put in custom text and design it any way you want, right? Go to custom, scroll over to misc., drop a static text button into the field, click on button, input text, input size of text, back out, scroll down, change font/color/etc...
you can use Tasker to parse an online source of quotes and dynamically update a minimalistic text widget at a set interval.
You could always try brilliant quotes.

I'm aware of the fact that minimalistic text widget already exists but not for quotes. I could enter static text, but then the quote would stay the same forever.
Brilliant quotes unfortunately crashes all the time on my phone...plus it doesn't support custom quotes.
I still need to have a look at tasker tough.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

G'day there, I have a quick question:
Is there a way to add shortcuts to apps to my homescreen as just a line of text? I'm using Regina Launcher because it allows different styles for every screen, and its a really neat creativity tool, but I'd like to push it further.
I'd like to be able to put just a line of text (or a long transparent icon with a text graphic, im not fussy) on my homescreen as a shortcut to the app. Is there a way?
Thanks in advance for any input.
I think you can download an icon pack with icons looking like texts (and not pictures), then choose the option on launcher to not show shortcut's name.

Hi all.
I was wondering how I would make use tasker to change quotes (from time to time) whilst using Minimalistic Text?
Something like this

How the user used Tasker with Minimalistic Text to change the quotes.
Thanks
I tried a search and this thread is close to what I want. But not really.
Ideally I would have a 1x2 vertical widget for CPU usage. I can do the CPU part just fine, but no text label.
Is there a way in miminalistic text to define a blank text box and type in whatever I feel there? It would be real neat so I could label my widgets.
Yes. Make a custom layout and just add a static text box (found under Misc.), and type in what you want.

3. their has to be the ability to edit interval times of when they switch
