Padbury Clock Revived

The Padbury Clock is a minimalist screensaver created by Robert Padbury. It has not been updated in ages and actually broke for me during the Big Sur beta cycle (although that issue resolved itself). At that point I decided to recreate it.

This new version retains most of the settings from the original (I honestly don't get what the alternate theme was supposed to do) and adds a new font family and font weight selection system. The original screensaver used Neue Helvetica Ultra Light. With the new version you will also be able to select San Francisco, Apple's new system font as the font used. Additionally SF Mono, SF Rounded and New York are available. The night time mode from the original is also supported.
