Update Clock bubble theme
Automatically update also the time/date bubbles in a widget when changing widget’s icon pack
Notes:
- Only if they have been masked originally (see Clock bubbles)
- Added a few other options for the center row in a text-clock bubble:
- hour12, hour24, am, month, day, fullmonth, full-day
- If text color is set to white or black it will also be automatically updated based on the color intensity (if center is transparent use intensity of solidified widget background color)
- Icon pack border/background settings will also affect themeable clock bubbles (background color will come from clock bubble border color)

For basic information on clock widgets see Clock bubbles
Clear both background and overlay then use button “Mask clock using cloud’s icon pack”. If icon pack includes multiple backgrounds / masks, you will be able to choose.
Click on the button “Customize time/date format” to set the content of the bubble. Use controls at the bottom to change color, size, style
Swipe over to add more bubbles. Using the FAB “Time/date bubble” add other components: hours, date, month etc.
Examples
Of course Bubble Cloud works with any and all icon packs available on Google Play. The pack has to include masking information for missing icons which is used to mask the clock bubbles as well.
