   There are a few alternate web views available that display a simplified BG stream. Append any of these to your Nightscout URL:
-  * `/clock.html` - Shows current BG. Grey text on a black background.
-  * `/bgclock.html` - Shows current BG, trend arrow, and time of day. Grey text on a black background.
-  * `/clock-color.html` - Shows current BG and trend arrow. White text on a background that changes color to indicate current BG threshold (green = in range; blue = below range; yellow = above range; red = urgent below/above).
+  * `/clock/clock` - Shows current BG. Grey text on a black background.
+  * `/clock/bgclock` - Shows current BG, trend arrow, and time of day. Grey text on a black background.
+  * `/clock/clock-color` - Shows current BG and trend arrow. White text on a background that changes color to indicate current BG threshold (green = in range; blue = below range; yellow = above range; red = urgent below/above).
+  * Optional configuration: set `HIDE_CLOCK_CLOSEBUTTON` (`false`) to `true` to hide the small X button to close the views
