I’ve noticed that too, they should put an option in settings to allow you to disable it.
New Chess Clock in Live Play
My game live game clock changed to 10 minutes when I only want 5-minute games. The game clock settings suddenly became unavailable. Any ideas in how to change this?

Yes, it is very annoying this new green clock, would love to be able to turn it off. Sometimes its there, other times its not; don't know why, but it is very disturbing...
Just played my first game of the day, i'm playing on a computer right now and the chess clock is different than it used to be. There is now a green clock icon next to the time and it's hand moves really quickly. So quickly that I found it super distracting and hard to focus on the game. Is there a way to disable this? Has anyone else noticed it?
