Rotation

setting.json is the file I meant, it caches if the last set clock had widgets at that time. Rewriting the settings currently just recreates the .boot0 file, that would not help in this case.
Just go into the settings app
-> System
-> Select Clock
-> Select your clock, even if already selected

That will recheck if the clock has a loadWidgets call and update the cached value accordingly. You can check the value by opening setting.json in the IDE before and after.
