Description

The RomanDigital app provides a clock of unique style that can be used to repurpose an old device or to display time on a current model.

For more personal use, the RomanDigital widget makes a distinctive addition to a device's Home screen.

RomanDigital includes features expected in an ordinary digital clock, such as:
* Choice of 12 or 24 hour format
* Optional AM/PM indicator (uniquely integrated into the time display)
* Option to keep display on when app is in the foreground
* Display in either portrait or landscape

RomanDigital also includes:
* Independent configuration of app and widgets.
* Selectable app and widget time display typeface (monospace, sans-serif, or serif).
* Variable widget background opacity that can be set from 0% to 100% by tens.
* Selectable widget time zone.
* Selectable widget layouts to add a time zone label.
* Selectable app time display color.

For more detailed information including a FAQ list, please see the README.md file accompanying the RomanDigital source code.
