Settings reference

Every screen and option in WP Clock, in the order you see them in the app. Open Settings from the main menu (⋮) or from the live-wallpaper picker. Sub-screens are nested under the section that opens them.

Premium marks features that need WP Clock Premium after the 7-day trial. Online presets, wallpaper layout, global style, and up to three local photos stay free. Premium is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Main screen

Path: App launcher → WP Clock

Home before you open the full settings editor. Portrait only.

WP Clock settings

Path: Main → Settings (or system wallpaper → Settings)

All sections below are on one scrollable screen, in this order. Tap the → arrow on a row to open its nested sub-screen.

Block layout & status font

  • Status row font

    Thin or Medium weight for the three small info rows (network, Wi‑Fi & battery, weather, sun, moon, etc.). Shared by live wallpaper, standalone, and both widgets.

  • Row spacing

    Gap between time, weekday, date, status rows, and footer (in dp). Shared by live wallpaper, standalone, and both home-screen widgets. Reset sets 4 dp.

Live wallpaper

  • Block alignment

    Center, top, or bottom — where the text block sits on the wallpaper.

  • Top padding

    Space from the top edge to the block (when aligned top or center).

  • Vertical offset

    Fine-tune vertical position in dp (negative moves up).

  • Bottom padding

    Space from the bottom edge to the block.

  • Horizontal padding

    Left and right inset for the text block.

  • Export static lock screen snapshot on changes Premium

    Saves a still image for the lock screen when your theme changes, so lock and home can match without live animations there.

  • Only export lock snapshot while charging

    Limits snapshot export to when the device is plugged in.

  • Background only on live wallpaper

    Hides time, date, and status on the wallpaper. Photos, vignette, and slideshow still run — pair with the transparent widget for the clock on top. Standalone is unchanged.

Standalone

  • Block alignment, padding, offset Premium

    Same controls as live wallpaper, but for fullscreen desk-clock mode only.

  • Keep display on

    Prevents the screen from sleeping while standalone is open.

  • Full brightness

    Forces maximum window brightness in standalone.

  • Refresh weather (overlay)

    Tap the screen in standalone to show overlay controls. Bottom-left button forces a weather reload when the weather row is on and a city is set.

Home screen widget

Android 13+. Two widgets in the launcher — same colors and row spacing, different rendering.

  • Widget info (note)

    Explains that WP Clock and WP Clock Live work differently; read each description in the launcher widget picker.

  • Flat text on bitmap widget

    WP Clock only — draw typography without outline strokes. WP Clock Live is always flat. Your wallpaper keeps its own outline settings.

Elements

The clock block — time and date parts — plus per-row styling. Which status info appears is chosen under Status rows.

  • Global style

    One color, opacity, and outline for every visible row. Tap → for details below. When on, per-element screens show “Using global style”.

  • Time · Weekday · Day · Week of year · Month · Year · Telephony · Wi‑Fi · Battery · Weather

    Toggle clock/date parts on/off. Telephony, Wi‑Fi, battery, and weather toggles control visibility when those features are assigned to a status row. Tap → for per-element styling Premium. Telephony needs Phone permission; Wi‑Fi needs Location (for network name only).

  • Home screen widget (info)

    Reminder: neither widget shows photo backgrounds, patterns, or bounce animations — only transparent typography, colors, and spacing. Premium removes the FREE badge on both.

Sub-screens

Global style

Path: Settings → Elements → Global style →

  • Text color

    Shared fill color for all visible elements.

  • Opacity

    0–100% text transparency.

  • Use medium font for weather

    Legacy per-row font toggle when weather is styled separately. In 2.0, prefer Status row font (Thin/Medium) for all three info lines.

Display format: BERLIN, 22°C, Partly cloudy. Condition labels follow your device language (8 locales). Temperature and condition code are cached on the phone; only coordinates (from the city you pick or your location-at-refresh) are sent to wpclock.exquinet.com. No continuous background location tracking.

Status rows

Three configurable info lines below the date. Defaults match WP Clock 1.x until you change them.

  • Status row A · B · C
