Widget: Analog clock
 | This functions as a clock face, displaying time with hour, minute, and second hands. |
Customization and Features
All customization for the analog clock elements uses the widget's Edit dialog, which opens the launcher's standard Edit dialog, consisting of Reset, Color, Dynamic color, Icon pack, Shape, Image, and Dynamic image. These options are fully discussed here. The features to be customized with the above options are:
- Time Zone: Users can set the specific time zone the clock is to display, which defaults to the user's device setting. The user can manually select from over 500 locations in the global time zones.
- Clock Hand Customization: The appearance of each clock hand is individually configurable:
- Hour hand: Most users will customize this using a color or image. The hour hand can be made invisible (hidden) using the hex color code
#00000000. - Minute hand: See the above hour hand discussion.
- Second hand: See the above hour hand discussion.
- Aesthetics
- Background: The overall background of the widget would be the clock face. Users should find suitable images to import into Resource Images in the launcher for customization.
- The default background is transparent but can be modified with any of the six options above.
- Margins: The margins default to 5 pixels on all sides. Increasing the margins on all sides would reduce the space available for the hands, making them occupy less space. Also, manipulation of the margins could be used as an offset to shift the center point (fulcrum). The margin modification does not affect the background display.
- Animation
- Enter animation for the analog clock widget. See more discussion on enter animation here.
- If the clock is on the designated home page and the phone is on the home page, the enter animation is affected after a system doze and “awakened” by the power button or phone unlock.
- Returning to home screen from exiting 'recent apps', enter animation activates.
- 'Quick Exit' swipe: swiping up from the bottom navigation bar wipes the immediate app to background and brings forth the home screen, in which the enter animation also activates, creating a clean transition.
