I like this, the screen implicitly knows that it shouldn't be open as soon as there is a connection by any means.

Looks good to me. I can see that the app now has just one Scaffold and is passing UIState into the screens, including the navHostController - and the check for whether the screen is in the background or foreground is working too. The LaunchedEffect code above looks like the right approach - you might need to key it on both screenStarted and connectionStatus so that it reacts when either of them changes.

Thanks! I'll take another look. And I've realised I'm setting the visibility of timetext directly in the compostable. Is this wrong? Does this constitute a side effect so I should be doing in the LaunchedEffect?

[Steve Bower [G]]

Yes, state changes should be made in one of the SideEffect APIs, so LaunchedEffect, DisposableEffect or SideEffect.
