It offers two tri-color display modes: "black-white-red" and "black-white-yellow".

The standout feature of Inkycal v3 is its modular main screen setup, allowing for customizing the display content of the dashboard using modules such as calendar, image& slideshow, RSS feeds, stock market quotes, weather, and to-do lists, without the need for coding.
