Bug: Chromecast Ambient Clock element became tiny

I turned on my television today to find that the clock in the bottom right of the Ambient screen became tiny:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/TWqNwjNJsM4XCKM8A 

It was much better when the large clock component could be seen from across the room. Rebooting the Chromecast and hiding and re-enabling the clock accomplished nothing. This is clearly a bug. 

Can the clock be made large again? Thanks!

Hey all,

As some of you have noticed - the issue impacting the size of the clock and weather UI has been fixed. If you are still experiencing this, please try rebooting your Chromecast device. If that doesn't fix the issue, let us know in a reply to this comment. Thank you for your patience.

Hooray! Thank you for hearing our cries. 

Thank you!   I just turned on the TV and noticed.   Now I'll go back to leaving the TV on chromecast for the clock.  

I wonder if we can get ambient settings back now. 

Looks great now, Thank you for fixing this

The time display used to be legible on my Chromecast. Now it's tiny and no one can read it. I can't find a setting to change it. Help

Hi....this update sucks, and I am going to keep bringing this up and posting wherever I can. In the past week or two, there was an update to Chromecast, and the time and temperature displayed on the bottom right-hand side are now tiny. It was so small that when my device was updated, I couldn't even see it from the other side of the room. This is so so disappointing, and I feel like for people with disabilities or eye problems, this new display is useless. I wish that, at a minimum, users had the option to change the size. I keep my TVs on most of the day and love my Chromecasts. I've bought several and had them for years I always recommend them, and this has been the biggest downgrade by far! Please, please, please, please, please fix it, I hate this so much. 

reboot fixes it 🙂

This was fixed around 4 days ago, just reboot.
