Finally a widget app for those of us who need our glasses or simply can't remember what day it is - or both! The day of week shows in really large text - in your preferred language. Widish allows for customized day color, background color and over 50 different fonts (for most languages - Arabic, Chinese, Korean & Japanese will only render 3 different fonts, but you can try before you buy.) Simply install the widget and pick your choice of colors and fonts. Or do nothing, and let the app rotate the colors daily for you. New to widgets? A short video on installing a widget is included.
