If you run the clock on batteries, you either have the option to make the colour flick on on the hour - of which it will be different every hour. Or you can just touch it to turn it on as the back 'feet' of the clock are the sensors. 2) There is the ability to have the colours constantly on, but that option does not come with the clock itself, you will need to buy your own DC power plug to do that, then it will gradually change colours on the hour. 3) The clock itself is a bunch of crap. You can only see the face of the clock, if you look at it on the same level. Much like how a rear projection TV screen looks dimmer if your eye is not on the same level, you can't read the clock anywhere else but on that same line. :( I actually own one of these, and its not all what it’s cracked up to be.
