Retro LCD 7-Segment Clock - v50 review notes What changed since v49? 1. New "Custom Color" theme option (clock-color = "custom"). Users can pick any color via a standard GTK color button in the preferences window. It is applied to the digits, the ":" separators, the alarm indicator dot, and the container border. The background tint is still derived automatically (same approach already used for the existing preset themes), so contrast/legibility is preserved. A new gschema key "custom-color" (string, default "#00ff00") stores the chosen hex color. 2. Live color preview in the preferences window. A small drawing area now shows a mock "88:88" display reflecting the currently selected theme (preset or custom) and glow intensity, so users can see the result before it's applied to the panel/widget. 3. Minor reliability fix for the "Flicker Effect" option: on some logins/reboots the flicker loop could fail to start until the user toggled the setting off and back on. The flicker state is now re-asserted right after the indicator is (re)built and again on the short deferred startup check that the clock display already used, removing the race that could leave it un-started. No new timers or permissions were introduced; this only changes when the existing _updateFlicker() call is invoked. 4. Internal refactor: color-to-rgba conversion is now shared between extension.js and prefs.js via a small new file, colorUtils.js (no UI or behavior change from this on its own). Not changed... ----------- - No new permissions, no network access, no changes to the alarm sound/notification flow. - All 8 existing preset color themes behave exactly as before. - metadata.json shell-version range is unchanged (45-48). Testing ------- - Verified JS syntax of extension.js, prefs.js and colorUtils.js. - Verified the updated GSettings schema compiles cleanly with glib-compile-schemas. Thank you for your time and attention. Kind regards
