Default Customizing center display

I was wondering if it is possible to customize the "Enform" center display to show just a nice, simple digital clock?

Most of my driving is in-town highway, so I don't have a huge need for the constant navigation display, so I thought sure that might be a customization option - but darned if I can find it.

I don't think a digital clock display is an option. I have mine default to a split screen showing GPS & the Hybrid Energy screen.

Why not choose the Radio or Audio screen at least you can see the names of the song and artist displayed?

OP is asking for a clock which at the moment is impossible to display on our infotainment system.

Honestly think that all manufacturers should allow us to display a big digital clock on the screens.

Funny, my last 3 cars, and now my 4th (the es) all lacked the ability to display a clock on the infotainment screeen. They all had analog clocks though. 2 of the cars had digital clocks in the gauge cluster, which by the way the lexus does not. All cars had factory navi.

Starting to get a bit annoyed: Tried to install and select custom images on Navigation Screen. 2014 ES350
1. No menu item for "Customize Image"...only for "Startup Image" and "Screen Off Image" per above video and p. 57 of the Navigation Manual
2. Tried using "Image", "StartupImage", and "DisplayOffImage" folders on USB stick.
3. No menu item to be found for uploading files from USB stick..tried both IOS and FAT32 formatted stick with jpg files all under 10mb
4. Press "Transfer" in either Customize Startup Image or Customize Screen Off Image.
5. Respond "Yes" to Overwrite existing image question.
6. Only message that comes up is "No Images to Display".

Help?

Thanks for the information - however, this particular help is for a static image. I was hoping there might be an option for a simple, large, digital clock. It would be simple to implement on the software side, thought maybe I was merely overlooking an option. Hardly a big deal, but it just would have been nice.

Finally solved the problem with uploading new Startup and DisplayOff images: If they are photographs you have taken, you should ensure that the EXIF data is stripped from the photo or the computer may not recognize the file as a photo even though you may have the .jpg or .jpeg file extension. The system is also finicky about what USB thumb drive you use: some work, some don't. I finally ended up using an SD card in a USB card reader to get the photos to upload. As always, YMMV.
