Floating time and increased brightness

[Nitrowing]

As the watch is too big for my wrist, I keep it docked and use it as a desk clock with notifications but it's not very bright in default "Always On" mode.
I understand that if it was brighter there may be an issue with screen burn and was wondering if having the numerals float around the screen would mitigate this.

LCD image retention is relatively unaffected by backlight brightness from what I understand (and instead is dependent on just the total time on screen). If the PineTime used an OLED, you'd be 100% right that brightness is the main factor.

So moving the clock elements fortunately isn't really needed. The main reason why it's dim is for power consumption - the battery life would be short if the backlight remained at a higher level. Since you're using it docked, feel free to edit the firmware to raise the always on brightness. I don't think we will support configuring this in the main firmware as this isn't really a supported usecase and we try hard to minimise the number of settings.

TLDR: You should be good to edit the brightness, change this line to something bigger. There are 96 brightness steps internally, (97 including 0), with always on being 3, low being 32, medium being 64, high being 96. https://github.com/InfiniTimeOrg/InfiniTime/blob/main/src/components/brightness/BrightnessController.cpp#L133
