Step 5: Position on Screen

  • Place in a corner for a subtle time display
  • Use transparent background for an overlay look
  • The glow effect looks best on darker scenes

Tips

  • The neon glow (Text Shadow Color) makes the clock pop - try different colors
  • Transparent background is great for overlaying on other content
  • Use a larger time font and smaller date font for visual hierarchy
  • 13 decorative fonts are available - try Pirata One for themed shows or Audiowide for a tech look
  • Show only time or only date based on what you need
