Everything visual: the app theme, the clock face itself, and 90 colours to build it from.

Theme #

Light, Dark or System. Chimely defaults to Dark rather than following the system, because an LED clock is the point.

Chimely's Theme control offering Light, Dark and System.
Chimely starts on Dark rather than following the system.

Time format #

System (default), 12-hour or 24-hour. It applies to the clock face and to your widgets; 12-hour adds an AM/PM suffix.

Applies to the clock face and to every placed widget.

Show Hijri date on clock #

On by default. Adds the Islamic date beneath the Gregorian date on the clock face.

Clock font #

Eight faces, each shown as a live preview tile so you can see the real digits before choosing.

Clock fonts
FontCharacter
LED Classic DefaultSeven-segment with flat segment ends — the classic mosque clock.
LED ModernSeven-segment with angled segment ends.
LED ClusterCar-dashboard cells rather than segments.
CourierA serif monospace.
System MonoYour phone’s own monospace face.
Neon TubeA glowing outline.
InlineA striped outline.
JewelA double-line outline.

The LED faces draw faint ghost segments behind the digits, exactly as a physical display does.

Segment and background colour #

Two tiles, each opening the same 90-colour palette, with a live 12:34 preview above them so you can judge the pair together.

  • Segment colour — the digits. Defaults to neon green.
  • Background colour — the face behind them. Defaults to black.

The live 12:34 preview updates as you pick, so you can judge the pair together.

The face behind the digits. Defaults to black.

Both choices flow straight through to your widgets. The rest of the Appearance tab — Widget transparency and Keep widget time live when asleep — is covered in that section.

Not available

There is no “hide seconds” option (seconds are always shown) and no keep-screen-awake setting. If you want the clock to stay lit, raise your phone’s own screen timeout.
