I had thought about that before but am not sure about it.

Adding a digital clock would mean having some sort of font drawing. I'd prefer if this project did not depends on the pango/freetype/harfbuzz stack. An alternative would be hardcoding a simple font.

My plan is to eventually do rendering with pixman or opengl instead of cairo. When I do that, I'll have to rewrite all rendering anyway, so adding a digital mode should best be done then. I'll consider it.

Friendly greetings, Leon Henrik Plickat
