Cool K4 NT Clock-Date Screensaver

I have a K4 non-touch. I want to turn it into a digital clock when not in use. I want it to display:

1. Time
2. Date
3. Phase of moon (if possible)

Is there such a screensaver for my Kindle?

In case there isn't, where can I find the information to design such a screensaver myself? This is the tentative algorithm that I've thought of:

1. Disable the screensaver that kicks in after 2 minutes of inactivity.
2. Display the time, date & phase of moon in large block font.
3. Go into sleep mode for 60 seconds.
4. Wake up. Goto step 2.
5. Escape from this loop if the power button is pressed.

There must also be a way to disable this screensaver and revert to the normal one.


Thanks.

There are similar screensavers posted here - -
Such as the one that displays the current weather.

When searching this site, don't forget to check for what you want in the master wiki index.
That is in the "Where do I start" sticky thread here.
