Thanks for your gracious help!  It is again configured like it used to
be. :)

Even though I do think many people would be looking for that in the
radio's settings and not the SBS, I think the issue is not so much
whether the screen saver is configured locally  or via the SBS, but the
ease of use.  The Custom Clock Helper is fine as an advanced settings
pane, but what it is now lacking (imho) is a basic (user friendly) way
to configure the screensaver. This was provided by the v1.2.1 local
settings pane in the radio. Isn't it much easier to select sth. like
"short day date" (e.g. Sun, Feb. 14) etc. than to figure out that "%a,
%d %b" represents the same thing (especially as  there seems to be no
documentation as to which parameter represents what)?

Would it be very difficult to offer these three options (big time only,
short day date and/or now playing for the top and bottom items) for
example and inform the user on the SBS that any changes done in the
Custom Clock Helper supersedes them.
