MultiClock styles differ greatly from anything else put in the tray #6

MultiClock's text isn't vertically aligned middle, it seem to be top aligned. It also has opacity set. It looks nothing like any other tray item, including the existing clock. Is there any way to make it take on the existing styles so it doesn't look starkly different?

Yeah, that vertical alignment is totally wrong; probably some default paddings changed since I last used the widget (~2013). That should be easy enough for me to fix.

In terms of the opacity; it needs something to visually distinguish it from the other clock it's near, and the opacity change ended up being the clearest (IMHO) solution. I also looked at e.g. separators and parentheses. Happy to explore other suggestions, but having identical styling isn't likely to work well.

Vertical alignment is now fixed in GitHub, and I've uploaded a copy to extensions.gnome.org.

Feel free to reopen this with suggestions on distinguishing the clock better without it blending too harshly into the existing clock, it'd be nice to get something that works better for everyone!

It still seems like the clock is misaligned in the verticle direction by 1 px. See the image here:
