As promised, Flipclock documentation excerpt:
Settings Screen
The Clock Settings screen allows you to control the configuration of Flip itself; options on this screen are application wide (if you want alarm controls you need the Alarm Setup Screen). You can access the Clock Settings screen by either pressing the "Current date display" button on the bottom of the main clock screen, or by pressing your finger down on the clock digits and dragging downwards.
The options provided on the Clock Settings screen are described below:
Clock Mode :
This option allows you to control whether the Flip operates in 12 Hour (AM/PM) or 24 Hour mode.
Seconds Counter:
This option controls whether the seconds ticker/counter will be displayed on the main clock screen.
This option only affects themes that support seconds display.
Alarm Style :
This option allows you to control the style in which alarms are setup and controlled:
Weekly (default):
In this mode Flip allows you to define different alarms for each day of the week. Each alarm is distinct and can be independtly enabled or disabled. Alarms in this mode are
not auto-clearing
; that means after an alarm goes off, it will remain enabled for the specified day of the next week.
Daily :
In this mode Flip allows you to define a single "daily" alarm. This is the same approach used by most "standard" alarm clocks; when the alarm is enabled it will occur at the next specified time. So if it's currently 8:00pm, and you set the alarm for 9:00pm, it will occur in one hour; if you set the alarm for 7:00pm it would occur at 7:00pm the next day. Alarms in this mode
are auto-clearing
, meaning that after the alarm goes off
it will automatically become disabled until you manually activate it again
.
Max Alarm Volume :
This is the maximum volume that you want Flip to play your alarm sound at. To help ensure alarms are always heard Flip overrides the normal device volume level, so this option lets you control the maximum that Flip will use.
Insomniac Mode :
This option controls whether Insomniac mode is enabled or not. For more information on this special display mode, see the
Insomniac Mode
help section. You can also toggle this option by pressing the hardware "back" button (looks like an arrow) at any point.
Insomiac Screen Lock:
This option controls whether the screen will be "locked" while in Insomniac mode. When this setting is
on
(default) if the screen is dimmed (at Insomniac level), pressing anywhere on the display, or any hardware button, will
only
cause the display to return to normal brightness. You'll then be able to interact with Flip normally. When this setting is
off
all interactions with the device will
wake the display and perform their normal actions
. For example, if this setting is on and an alarm occurs while at Insomniac brightness, you can roll over and hit anywhere on the display to wake the display up without worrying about accidentally hitting the alarm off or snooze buttons; if this option is off, you'll be able to hit the alarm off or snooze buttons while at Insomiac brightness.
Insomniac Backlight :
This option controls how dim (or bright) the device backlight will be when Insomniac mode is enabled. The default value of 3 is the lowest possible setting and provides optimal "in the dark" viewing, while a higher value might be desirable for "throughout the day" viewing.
You can change any value on the settings screen simply by pressing on it. For example, if you want to change the clock from the default 12 hour mode to 24 hour mode, simply press the "12 Hr" value, and it will automatically change. Some options, such as the Max Alarm Volume, allow for a more specific value to be defined, and so clicking on these will open the "Value slider" display, giving you a quick and easy way to select the exact value you want.
The Clock Settings screen also allows you to access some of Flip's other control screens via the large buttons:
About Flip :
Opens the Flipclock about/help screen.
Select Mood :
Opens the mood colour picker window. For more information on Mood Colours, how they affect Flip and how to pick one, see the
Mood Colours
help section.
Select Theme :
Opens the theme browser, allowing you to choose different themes for Flip. For more information on this see the
Theme Browser
help section.
