Welcome
Suntimes will display a welcome screen to assist with initial configuration.
The welcome screen is automatically displayed the first time the app is launched. It can be revisited later from Suntimes -> Settings -> General
-> Welcome
.
Appearance
Suntimes supports light and dark themes, and can switch between them to match the system. It also includes high contrast versions of these themes.
Suntimes supports larger text sizes (while also respecting the system’s text size settings). Choose a larger text size to improve readability.
Appearance settings can be changed later from Suntimes -> Settings
-> User Interface -> Appearance
.
User Interface
Suntimes can be customized to show or hide information. Choose the fields that should be displayed by the main screen (and hide others).
It is also possible to show custom events that occur when the sun is at a given angle.
User Interface settings can be changed later from Suntimes -> Settings
-> User Interface
.
Location
Select a place. Suntimes provides a locale specific default (and includes a large list of world places).
Use Add World Places
to add all defaults to the list of places, or Import
to import a previously saved list.
Use Get Location
to add the device’s current location to the list.
The location is manually configured by default; Suntimes does not require location permissions (optional).
Time Zone
Select a time zone. Suntimes displays information using the system time zone by default.
Choose a time zone within a couple hours of local mean time for best results.
Verify the time zone if reported times seem inaccurate or don’t make sense. A mismatch between the time zone and location is a common misconfiguration.
Alarms
Use Import
to restore alarms from a previous installation of Suntimes.
Extra configuration may be required for alarms to work reliably. Please follow all recommendations if you intend to use alarm features.
