Picture of clock with graduated background

On my Radios I somtimes am getting a clock with graduated background. If I turn
the device on and off again I get the normal clock background.

This is happening on Radios' of friends of mine and other forum users.

My Firmware is: 7.5.0-r8673 
Server Version: 7.5

I have attached a photo I took.

As was pointed out in the forum thread, the graduated background is the 'When stopped' screensaver.

That is to say, when you see the clock with the graduated background, your unit is not "off", but simply stopped.  When you "turn it on and off again" what you are really doing is dismissing the screensaver, then turning the unit "off".

Now, given that, it seems possible that perhaps there is a bug with the unit not turning "off."  Regardless, it seems like perhaps it is worth some review whether the behavior needs to be made more clear to avoid user confusion.

I'm happy to see any suggestions in comments here so we can decide how to ease this apparent confusion.  Thanks!
