## What’s New

Recently, I noticed that my **reMarkable Paper Pro** and **Paper Pro Move** (running the **3.25 beta**) were showing *rotating system illustrations* overlaid on top of my sleep screen image when locking the device.

This didn’t appear to affect my **reMarkable 2**.

[reMarkable OS 3.25 Beta: A Quick Heads Up About Sleep Screen BehaviorA quick heads up for reMarkable beta users about a change in sleep screen behavior observed on Paper Pro devices in OS 3.25 beta.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/icon/4-62.png)SimplyKyraKyra![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/thumbnail/Simply-Customize-It---3.25---Cover.png)](https://www.simplykyra.com/blog/remarkable-os-3-25-beta-a-quick-heads-up-about-sleep-screen-behavior/)

I shared a quick heads up and my initial reaction here in case you missed it.

## The Fix

After some testing, I found a way to **turn off the rotating overlay behavior** on devices that support it without changing or resetting your actual sleep screen image.

I’ve added this directly into **Simply Customize It** so you don’t need to run any commands yourself.

## New Tools

You’ll find a new section in **Screens**, just below **My Groups**, with three buttons:

- **Disable Overlay** – Turns off the rotating system illustrations so your sleep screen remains fully visible.
- **Restore Overlay** – Restores the default behavior by undoing the change made when disabling the overlay.  
  - This won’t force the feature on devices like the reMarkable 2\. It simply restores the original state.
- **Check Status** – Runs a quick check (without changing anything) to see whether the overlay behavior is currently enabled.

## Good to Know

- This only affects the **overlay behavior**. It does **not** replace or reset your chosen sleep screen image.
- If you’re using the default sleep screen, it will remain set. If you’re using a custom image, it won’t revert back.
- If your device doesn’t support this feature, these tools won’t visibly change anything. That said, they’re safe to run.
- I’ve noticed that after restoring the overlay and restarting the reMarkable, it may not appear until you **unlock the device once**.

## A Quick Note on Pricing

As *Simply Customize It* continues to grow and adapt quickly to reMarkable updates and new devices pricing for **new subscribers** will be increasing. If you’re already subscribed **your current pricing is not changing at this time**.

This update helps support ongoing development, device testing, and timely updates when reMarkable makes system-level changes. Thank you for being here. Your support truly makes this work possible.
