Tips
- Seconds are restless.
HH:mm:sson a wall panel gives you something that changes every second in the corner of your eye.HH:mmis calmer. - The date earns its place. On a wall panel where nobody is holding a phone, Monday 3 March is genuinely useful.
- Font size. The Style tab has a Max font size so the time fills the card as much as you want.
- Wide and short works well. Unlike an analog clock, this card does not need to be square.
