Could someone please explain the minute hand? It says it’s Nine : Twenty-nine but the minute hand is pointing at the word Twelve.

- nDRDY 6mo agoI think the labels are pointlessly confusing.
- secretdark 6mo agoI mean to be fair the entire thing is pointlessly confusing.
- nDRDY 6mo agoMaybe, but the labels and hour markers that contradict the meaning of the hand positions is just perverse :-)
- secretdark 6mo agoI have changed it now (see another comment above.) But now it is less accursèd! Ah well.

- nDRDY 6mo agoHmm. I wonder what it would look like if you added the corresponding "minute" labels (eight, five, four, etc) at the appropriate places. It might make it at least a little feasible to read the time!

- secretdark 6mo agoYeah, might add this as a toggle. Seems to be the bit that people ask about.
- AnotherGoodName 6mo agoArrange all sixty minutes alphabetically around the clock. Same for seconds. Twenty-nine is near the end of the alphabet. The labels only relevant to the hours. For some reason the hour labels don’t align well to where the hour hand is.
- cbdevidal 6mo agoTHAT explains it, thank you.
- secretdark 6mo agoI tweaked the labels when I was working on the combined mode, where I figured they make more sense as indicative of the general, combined alphabetical area. I hadn't considered they'd be confusing in the 3-hand mode. I've split the positioning of them between the two now. Appreciate the feedback! It does make it _less_ accursèd now, which I feel could be either an improvement or a regression. I leave it to weigh on your consciences.
- SAI_Peregrinus 6mo agoCheck the "show all labels" to make it correct. The big labels are incorrect, the "twelve" should be "twenty-five".
