for me, midnight just comes up blank, is there a fix for this?

And maybe a way to change the text animation? so it doesn't fade in and out, but more as if it deletes and types its self or just cuts to the next text

Love the wallpaper, could you make it so we can add an image as a background and allow us to relocate the text? i kinda want it lower on the screen

@jooj sorry just saw this, yes I can add that! Should be deployed by the end of this week.

I love this as a screensaver for when my PC's on standby. Are you still following requests for updates? Would love a version that says "it's [time] on [weekday]"

@Favmir thanks for the feedback. I updated the css so it doesn't flash bang people anymore. It was applying the default background of white and then applying the black background after the settings service initialized. I changed that so it will always start black.

I also added the ability to specify font size since setting the font size to be dynamic may upset some people who like how the current font size fits their screen. Was playing around with it on different sized monitors and I liked how it looked dynamically but wasn't sure if some people preferred the text smaller or larger. Figured letting them decide was the best way to go about it.

Thanks!

Oh, I just looked through the files, and it looks like the text size already gets calculated automatically? I have no idea why it shows up enormous in screensaver preview then.

When you apply this as a screensaver, the screen flashes white for split second, and then the text without css applied initially pops in, before finally the setting take effect and everything shows up correctly.

I suggest adding an initial fade-in effect on the CSS to hide these problems.
@keyframes fadein {
0% { opacity:0; }
66% { opacity:0; }
100% { opacity:1; }
}
This worked for my version of word clock, at least.

Also, I think making the text size change depending on your screen size would be a better solution(then it'll show up correctly in the screensaver preview as well). You can use vw for font size instead of px and it'll work.

Also, I think you should write in the description about what improved features this has over the original. Just to help new users understand what's going on.

@Core1211 Amazing! This is definitely gonna be my go-to wallpaper from now on!

Just updated this to better support user preferences. You can now enable time periods, set colors for both text and background, and align the text to either side!
