Birthday countdown timer, full screen
Every countdown here has a fullscreen button in the bottom-right corner of the clock. Click it and the birthday countdown fills the whole display — the digits scale up, your background color runs edge to edge, and the button itself fades out after a couple of seconds so nothing sits on top of the numbers. Press Esc to come back out.
That makes it easy to put a birthday count down on the TV at the party, a classroom board, or a second monitor at your desk in the run-up. There is nothing to install — it is a web page, so any device with a browser can show it.
More on how it works, plus display templates built for legibility at a distance, on the full screen countdown timer page.
