There's beauty even in the little things.

According to a HoYoLab post by Knuttunk, the home screen depicts four times of day: Dawn, Day, Twilight, and Night. These screens change depending on your device's time of day and can be altered by shifting your device's clock. The first setting is Dawn, which occurs from 4:30AM to 7:59AM. This screen features soft yellow light peeking through the clouds and a quiet orchestration of the main theme.

The second setting is Day, which occurs from 8:00AM to 4:59PM. This screen is accompanied by bright blue clouds and a cheerful variation of the main theme. The third setting is Twilight, which lasts from 5:00PM to 6:59PM. This version portrays a lovely golden hour, with warm light pouring in from the sun and a gentle performance of the main theme. The fourth and final setting is Night, which spans from 7:00PM to 4:29AM. This screen contains a landscape of dark clouds and a choral variation of the main theme.
