Description Fernando M. Muniz 2025-11-09 20:13:02 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Make the clock remain visible but not always in the same place. Useful for video backgrounds.

OBSERVED RESULT
That's not possible.

EXPECTED RESULT
Have the clock+date move around.
Ideally like those DVD players' screensavers.

This sounds do-able
