Using some of the “shelter at home” time to figure out how to create background images that work with my Echo Show 5 and its analog clock faces. Here are a few examples from photos I took over the past few years. (I do astrophotography as a hobby.)
You can set an Amazon Photos gallery to be used as backgrounds and the Show 5 will toggle through them. To do so, use the menus on the Show 5 to set which gallery you want to use.
You can also use the Alexa app on a smartphone or tablet to set a static image to use as the Show 5 background. To do so, open the Alexa app, select your Show 5 device, scroll down and select Home Screen Background, select Add a Photo from this Device, then follow the instructions.
The tricky part is getting an image to align with the clock faces, whether digital or analog. It is more challenging to get the images to work with the analog clock faces. If anyone is interested in how to format the image and lay them out, I’ll write up a little set of instructions and provide a link.
At any rate, it is nice to be able to personalize the Show 5 a bit.
