Screensavers

The art screensaver: a full-screen painting with a slim clock and temperature band

Settings → Screensaver picks what fills the screen when the dashboard rests. When it appears is decided separately, under Display modes.

Slideshows

  • Art — a rotating public-domain artwork from major museum collections.
  • Landscapes — a curated folder of landscape photography.
  • Your photos — either photo widget’s album (iCloud or Google Drive).

Clock faces

  • Big clock — a giant time and date.
  • World clocks — an analog dial for each of your World Clock cities, night-time cities dimmed.
  • Clock + world times — a big clock with a row of city times beneath.

Every option has a full-screen Preview — tap anywhere to exit it.

There is no “Off” here: a board that should never show a screensaver sets Display mode to Always dashboard instead.

Toggle What it does
Info strip A slim band along the bottom: current weather and your next departures
Hour markers Tick marks on the clock faces
Backdrop image A curated photo behind a clock face — one per day

If a photo album becomes unreachable, the screensaver falls back to Art, and failing that to the Big clock. The screen never goes blank.

Clocks repaint once per minute, aligned to the minute boundary.
