Review of "Retro LCD 7-Segment Clock" version 46

Details Page Preview

Vintage digital display with a high-fidelity 7-segment look. 10 color themes, custom colors, ghost segments, CRT scanlines, desktop widget mode, a quick color-switch menu, a date tooltip on hover, and integrated alarms with an on-screen dialog so they're never missed. Draws its digits from SVG path data embedded in the extension's code (no system font installation needed) and plays alarms through GNOME Shell's native sound theme; no bundled audio, font or image files.

This update extends compatibility to GNOME Shell 49 and 50. It also replaces the bundled "Digital-7" font (by Sizenko Alexander, licensed "free for personal use only") with DSEG7 Classic by Keshikan, licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which explicitly allows embedding/redistribution for both personal and commercial use. The corresponding OFL license file (DSEG-LICENSE.txt) is included in the package, and README.md/credits were updated accordingly. As a side effect, this also fixes a visual bug present in previous versions: the old font's "1" glyph had a narrower advance width than the other digits, causing the clock to visually shift/reflow every time a "1" appeared or disappeared. DSEG7 Classic has uniform digit widths, so the display is now stable. Given the licensing concern with the previous font, I have deactivated all previously published versions of this extension. Could you please remove the older package files (or at least strip the bundled "digital-7.ttf" font file from them) to avoid any further redistribution of a font that isn't cleared for that use? Happy to provide more detail if needed. Thank you.
