[WIP] Advanced clock

[andrewjswan]

Improvement

Describe the solution / feature you'd like

This improvement will allow you to set the color of Hours, Minutes and Spacer separately. If the seconds display mode is enabled show_seconds: true, the seconds will be displayed with a flashing separator rather than a dot in the corner. The mode for time formats works: %H:%M %H:%M:%S %I:%M%p %I:%M %p If advanced_clock is not enabled (false), or color values are not specified and the seconds display is not enabled show_seconds: false, then there will be no visual changes on the Clocks screen. Added time_format_big for a screen with a clock and without an icon, work only in advanced clock mode. Added set_clock_infotext_color set the special color for left and right char on info text on icon clock screen, work only in advanced clock mode.

Hi, again very nice. Is the flag advanced_clock necessary? The blinking dot was a workaround because I was too lazy to find a way to make the colon blink.

So show_seconds could make the colon blink instead of the dot, and the set_adv_clock_color could set the colors. The breaking change is acceptable in my opinion!

Not everyone needs this functionality, so it's better to let it be optional.

It is if this mode is enabled.

and the set_adv_clock_color could set the colors. The breaking change is acceptable in my opinion!

It retains full compatibility, just added functionality, I'm still turning a simple watch into a spacecraft. :)

You can test it :)
