How can I make the Progress Bar widget easier to read on mobile?

A progress design that looks great on desktop can become hard to scan on mobile. The fix is usually spacing, label visibility, and a less dense template.

This screenshot should show the exact controls used to simplify mobile presentation.

  1. Switch to mobile preview in the editor.

  2. Reduce visual density:

    • Lower width where applicable

    • Adjust gap so items have breathing room

  3. In Settings, keep only essential text:

    • Turn off less-important labels if cluttered

    • Keep either bar title or percentage prominent (not both if cramped)

  4. Review animate on load and duration:

    • Keep animation smooth but short

    • Avoid long animation in compact mobile views

  5. Re-check your selected template; if still crowded, switch to Simple or Vertical List.

Use this setting when users need to understand progress in a few seconds on small screens.

Check this if the result does not look right:

  • If content wraps awkwardly, simplify labels and reduce item count.

  • If scanning is slow, disable non-critical visual elements.

  • If motion feels distracting, shorten animation duration or reduce animation use.
