That's the only gotchas I can think of, so, brave testers welcome ;p.

EDIT: And of course, 5min later I remember that I forgot to check straight ePubs, aaaaaand, yep, we're too fast. Yet another proof that ePub performance is subpar.

EDIT²: Fixed it :/.

EDIT³: Now ignores gyro events by default, to prevent them from feeding the cooldown (c.f., the new graylist option).

I've just found some time to play with your KoboRoot-MiniClock-20191124 version in post #311 on a ClaraHD. I like the new background/overlay options, however I have a fundamental problem with this version. After initial installation all seems to work well, but after a full power off/on cycle the miniclock fails to display at all.

The only way I've found to kickstart it again is by reconnecting the Kobo to the PC and edit/saving the miniclock.cfg (no need to change any of the options). After disconnecting, the miniclock is back again and I think everything will probably be OK until the next full power off.

The fact that no-one else has reported this makes me wonder whether I've done something dumb in the .cfg file, so I've attached the contents.

#       You might want to keep the *first* delay relatively "high", though, especially if you read ePubs, and not KePubs.

# ^NOTE: These do *NOT* override row/column, they *fine-tune* them. Offsets can be negative, but will not wrap around edges.
#       f.g., if you only print a %H:%M timestamp, that's 5 characters, so, the bottom-right corner of the screen would be:
#       column=-5
#       row=-1
#       You can then adjust that a bit, by, say, moving it 10 pixels higher:
#       offset_y=-10
#  NOTE: While column/row won't, offset_x/offset_y *can* push content off-screen!

# TrueType support:

# TrueType Padding helps prevent visual fragments to appear,

# Set to 1 to enable.
# NOTE: If you still have this enabled, and you're seeing weird layout issues on the first update after a truetype switch,
#       try disabling it.

# NightMode support:
