Review of "Retro LCD 7-Segment Clock" version 61

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.

Version 61 — GNOME Shell 49/50 compatibility Extends supported shell versions to include GNOME Shell 49 and 50, alongside the existing 45–48 range. I checked the official GJS porting guides for both 49 and 50 — neither introduces any relevant API changes for extension.js or prefs.js, so no code changes were required to add support for these versions. The extension does not touch any of the areas that did change (accessibility toggles, brightness manager, Meta.Rectangle removal, Clutter.ClickAction/TapAction, etc.). Two small unrelated improvements are also included: The clock now renders the correct time immediately when the indicator is (re)built, instead of briefly showing the placeholder digits until the first timer tick. Removed a redundant explicit affectsInputRegion: true option from the widget-mode addChrome() call, since that's already St's default value. No other logic was touched. metadata.json shell-version and version were updated accordingly; README.md requirements section updated to reflect the new supported range. Thanks for all your hard work reviewing extensions. Have a great day!
