Is it intentional that there are no widgets anymore when this one is running?
Yes, it is intentional. This is covered in the README file.
'Uses the whole screen, widgets are made invisible but still run in the background'
The point is that in order to have a full screenshot clock the display of widgets is supressed.
There are some clocks that support fullscreen and a version where widgets are displayed.
But that means adjusting the layout of the images.At the time I wrote this clock the layout manager was in development and I could see lots of issues being reported with it. I wanted stability so I chose to hard code the layout.
I dont intend to develop this clock further, but I can see that others have made changes and continue to support it. Personally I think that if widgets were displayed with this clock the images would look too small. The icon images were chosen inspired by pictures of various Pebble clock faces. Due to the screen resolution of the B2 the size of the images have to be carefully chosen and balanced with the fontsize so that it is readable. There are far to many apps and clocks where the font size is so tiny you need a magnifying glass to read them even with prescription glasses.

Hi, quick question on the Rebble clock. Is it intentional that there are no widgets anymore when this one is running?
I am using the "clock widget" to always have the time available (when reading messages for example). But with Rebble it does not work. When I use LCARS for example it works well.
Thanks
