Big Small Clock
Getting weather…
What to show
Click to turn on or off. One always stays on.
Theme
Tint with the sky
The background drifts through dawn, day, dusk and night colours, following sunrise and sunset where you are. The text never changes colour.
Layout
Sides: today’s weather on one side of the clock, the forecast on the other. Auto picks it when the window is much wider than the clock.
With Sides, today’s weather
Spacing
Snug: everything bigger and closer together, with less empty space.
Protect the screen
Moves everything a few pixels now and then, too little to notice, so nothing stays burnt into the screen.
Keep the screen on
It only applies while Big Small Clock is showing. Minimised or behind another window, the screen sleeps as usual.
Click a part to change it
Click the clock, the temperature, the place, the date, the forecast or the ring, and a small bubble opens there with its handiest options (the gear in it opens that setting in Settings).

Wording
Ten forty reads the time the way a digital clock shows it. (Graffiti and the chalkboard leave out “The time is”.)
Minute markers
The words go in fives; the markers count the minutes in between. One ring stands for the whole five.
Fill with the seconds
Off: each marker just lights up when its minute comes.
Minutes marked on the one ring

Clock size
Smaller leaves more room for the weather and timers.
The clock is turned off, so there’s no ring.
On the ring
Click to put each on the ring or take it off.

Forecast
Today’s go under the high and low; the forecast’s go under each day. Rain shows the chance and how much. Snow shows only when snow is on the way. What to wear suggests clothes for the day’s temperature, plus an umbrella, a hat and gloves or sunscreen when they’ll help (the forecast shows the main item; point at it for the rest). Sun times are for today only.

Timers are turned off.
Quick timers
Point at the stopwatch icon, top right, and click a timer to start it. On a running timer, the looping arrows make it repeat. “Then start” runs one timer after another, like Focus and then Break; the stop button on a running timer ends the chain.

Ring: they race round the clock to 12 (more in Settings › Ring).
