 ## Usage
 
-Once installed and enabled, the plugin will automatically display the current time during the normal plugin rotation. The display updates every 60 seconds (configurable via `update_interval` in manifest).
+Once installed and enabled, the plugin displays the current time during the normal
+plugin rotation. The core refreshes the plugin on its own cadence (see
+`update_interval` in `manifest.json`, default 60s).
 
 ### Time Formats
 
-- **24-hour format** (`is_24_hour_format: true`): Displays time as "HH:MM" (e.g., "14:30")
-- **12-hour format** (`is_24_hour_format: false`): Displays time as "H:MM" or "HH:MM" (e.g., "2:30" or "02:30")
+- **24-hour** (`is_24_hour_format: true`): "HH:MM" (e.g. "14:30")
+- **12-hour** (`is_24_hour_format: false`): "H:MM" or "HH:MM" depending on `has_leading_zero` (e.g. "2:30" or "02:30")
 
 ### Separator Flashing
 
-When `has_flashing_separator` is enabled, the colon separator blinks every second (visible on even seconds, hidden on odd seconds), similar to traditional digital clocks.

 ## Technical Details
 
 ### Image Assets
 
-The plugin uses digit images (13x32 pixels) and a separator image (4x14 pixels) stored in `assets/images/`:
-- `number_0.png` through `number_9.png`: Digit images
-- `separator.png`: Colon separator image
-
-Images have transparent foreground on black background, allowing colors to be applied dynamically.
-
-### Sunrise/Sunset Calculations
-
-The plugin uses the `astral` library to calculate sun elevation based on:
-- Location (latitude/longitude)
-- Current date and time
-- Timezone
+The plugin uses digit images (13×32px) and a separator image (4×14px) in
+`assets/images/`:
+- `number_0.png` through `number_9.png`: digit images
+- `separator.png`: the colon separator
 
-Color mixing is calculated based on the sun's elevation relative to the configured fade thresholds.
+Images have a transparent foreground on a black background, so the configured
+`color` is applied dynamically.
 
 ### Display Dimensions
 
-The plugin automatically adapts to any display size configured in LEDMatrix. Display dimensions are read from `display_manager.width` and `display_manager.height`.
-
-Centering calculations ensure the clock is properly positioned regardless of display width (supports 64x32, 128x32, chained panels, etc.).
