Sorry for reviving this thread, but you might want to do this soon, given that google is encouraging devs to make/refresh their widgets for Android 12.

The big thing about Android 12 widgets is that:

  • Theming is done by the system instead of the app for stylistic cohesion
  • Instead of making fixed-size 4x1/2x2/etc. variants, you instead create one responsive widget that changes its layout depending on its size. This feature can even be back-ported to Android 11 and below with some clever tricks.

I've made a widget implementation that follows this new style. Hope it helps.
