Clock appearance
How to set what the clock looks like on the speaker’s screen.
- What it is for
- One look for every place: the preview in the program, the clock window (second monitor) and the clock page in a browser. Every change shows up immediately.
- Who can use it
- Operator in the program.
- Where to find it
- Settings tab (shortcut F2) → Timer digits, Blinking, Progress bar, Phase colors, Current time cards.
