[Request] Raven Calendar Widget in Clock Applet Popup

[LinuxinaBit]

Budgie version

budgie-desktop 10.9.1

Use-cases

• Access to the calendar widget without using Raven allowing for more customization options
• Quick access to the calendar widget with a single click
• Addition of a way to access the calendar widget from somewhere it intuitively should be

Proposal

If possible, simply duplicating the calendar from Raven would be ideal.

Old, likely abandoned Budgie Applet with similar functionality: https://github.com/danielpinto8zz6/budgie-calendar-applet

Inspiration from xfce: https://docs.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-datetime-plugin/start

Issue https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/issues/39 was closed with the aforementioned applet as the solution, but the third party applet now appears to be unmaintained (the latest release was in October 2021). This functionality seems like it may be easy enough to implement in the official Clock applet and is preferable to being required to install multiple clock applets.

Issue https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/issues/121 mentions the removal of the calendar button in the Clock applet, so there is now no way to access any kind of calendar from the Clock applet.

I do also think that it would be a good default setting that clicking on the clock in panel would open a calendar view. Currently, you can set date and time when clicking on it. Which you kind of need to do once, and then it is set. But accessing a calendar view would be useful on a daily basis.

The button to access date and time settings should be kept. It's a useful feature as well, and nobody said it had to be removed. In fact, the abandoned Budgie Applet I mentioned retains this feature (albeit in a less easily recognizable way). I suggest keeping the button as-is and simply adding the calendar widget above it in the same popup.
