Review Summary
Overlay Clock is appreciated for its minimalist and functional overlay clock visible in fullscreen mode, customizable in appearance and position, and easy to hide temporarily. However, users report notable issues such as inability to move the clock which can block webpage controls, lack of second and date display, problems with fullscreen-only mode, opacity bugs, and inconsistent display on some sites including streaming services. Installation and uninstallation processes can also be confusing. Despite these, it remains a valued extension for users needing a always-on screen clock.
Pros
- Simple and minimalistic design, easy to use and configure.
- Displays time as an overlay on the screen, useful in fullscreen mode where OS clocks are hidden.
- Features like customizable font size, color, background opacity, and position make it functional and user-friendly.
- Clicking on the clock can temporarily hide it to access underlying webpage elements.
- Works well on fullscreen YouTube and is especially appreciated on Mac and fullscreen applications.
Cons
- Cannot move the clock overlay resulting in it sometimes blocking important page elements, requiring disabling and refreshing tabs.
- Lacks options to display seconds, date (day, month, year), and AM/PM toggle customization.
- The background opacity setting affects text opacity, indicating a bug or lack of separate controls.
- Fullscreen-only display option is non-functional; clock shows all the time rather than only in fullscreen.
- Some users experience issues with the clock not showing on certain websites or in fullscreen mode on streaming services like Netflix and Disney+.
- Uninstalling can be confusing due to it not appearing in the launcher but only in the list of installed apps.
