i chose date and time in Persian but I doesn't show it properly. It is supposed to be from right to left but the text is left to right and this is not how it is supposed to be. for example, instead of: چهارشنبه 25 شهریور 2024 it shows the texts like this: 2024 روی ره ش 25 ه ب ن ش را ه چ

yes, it will not work properly with right-to-left writing system, sorry. this is just because very simple and naive implementation. I'll see what I can do here to make it work properly.

you are the first user who contacted me about it :)

I didn't have this problem with the old version of this clock and I used it for a year or two, it is really a wonderful clock, but after I received the update notification and updated the clock, it happened like this and now I can't find the old version. It was version 4.5, if I'm not mistaken. edit: Oh, I've located it on the SourceForge site. I just installed version 4.7.9, and it's perfect.

that's strange that it can handle RTL language correctly... older version has almost no text support at all. the new one was focused on text, but with very simple implementation, as I mentioned previously.

and yes, all previous versions since ~2016 are available on SourceForge
