FredQ Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I use Poweramp in my car on an android head unit. I love the layout and have no complaints with the general performance and features but when in fullscreen/landscape mode I have no view of the time in my car. Would it be possible to add an option to enable a clock? The time would fit perfectly in the top right corner of the display without interfering with the other elements onscreen. That way I can see the time when driving. I don't want to have to show the android status bar and view it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 That is up to the interface implementation on the head-unit as far as I know, it would not be generated by Poweramp. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredQ Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 Regardless though, when in true fullscreen mode, no matter what the device/head unit, there is no view of the clock anywhere. So would it be possible for add a toggle to display the time in the Poweramp interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 This sort of clock (top left) you mean? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredQ Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 No. That's android auto and the clock is provided by the OS. I'm talking about a system running full android in the car (or wherever it may be). So when in landscape there's no clock. It would be nice to have a clock in the top right corner or something. I don't want the status bar with the network, the notifications and everything else showing like in your picture. Which is why I am curious if this is something that could be added as an option within Poweramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Ah, I see what you mean. No, as you say the clock is really part of the OS status bar, so for 99% of users it would simply duplicate that. I don't think a skin would be able to add it either, but I'll move this to the Skins thread as that's probably more where it belongs as there is definitely space space in the landscape layout. I wonder if maybe there are any apps which can overlay a clock (widget-style) on top of a currently running app? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
