Turn off that light!

It's funny how feature requests come in pairs.  I had two users email me with in three days of each other both asking about the night clock and dimming the time and turning off the back lighting on the buttons.  So, now the Dark Clock (as I've called it) will dim when the time moves the first time.  If you touch the screen when the time is dimmed then it will return to the normal brightness.  Touching again will exit the dark clock mode.  Hopefully that's what they are looking for...

I realized after pushing the update that I probably should have created options for the amount that it dims and how long it waits until it dims.  Not very hard to do, but it will have to wait until next time.

Also, I'm pretty much done with primary development on the next big enhancement... Dock configuration and adding more buttons.  However, that's going to cost you a dollar...

  1. I am sorry to have installed this update. I have Kyocera Echo that I place in a plate holder stand with Desk Clock Plus.

    Before this update, I was able to get a large, readable clock and see my wallpaper while I am working. I was unhappy with how the stock clock switched to night mode because the black background blocked my wallpaper.

    The latest update dims the screen and I do not understand how to tweak the settings to prevent it.

    Also... I had 2 incident after the update where it would freeze my phone. Had to power off to recover both times. Chose not to run the app yesterday and did not have the freeze up.

  2. Bob,

    Sorry the previous version caused you trouble. The update yesterday will give you the option to turn off the dim or set a dim level.

    I'm not sure what would cause the phone to lock. If you're still having problems, email me and we'll see what we can do to fix it.

    Bob
