Each card previews the widget and has an Add button that pins it to your home screen.
If Add does nothing

Some launchers (MIUI in particular) refuse pin requests. Add it the long way instead: long-press an empty spot on your home screen, choose Widgets, and look for Chimely.

Matching colours and fonts #

You do not have to configure this. Widgets automatically pick up your segment colour, background colour, clock font and time format — change them in Appearance and every placed widget follows.

A note at the top of Chimely's Widgets tab reading that widgets reflect your current colours and font automatically.
Nothing to configure — widgets follow whatever the Appearance tab is set to.

Transparency #

Widget transparency lives on the Appearance tab, not the Widgets tab. It runs from 0% to 100% in ten steps and starts at 100% opaque — drag it down to let your wallpaper show through.

This lives on Appearance, not Widgets. It starts fully opaque.

Keeping widgets ticking #

On phones that aggressively stop background apps, a widget clock can freeze at the last time it managed to draw. The fix is Keep widget time live when asleep, also on the Appearance tab and off by default.

Turn it on and, while the screen is off, the widget switches to a simpler system font that Android can keep ticking on its own — then switches back to the full LED look the moment you pick the phone up. If your widget is still stale, work through Reliability as well; the same battery managers cause both problems.
