Review of "Retro LCD 7-Segment Clock" version 63

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.

v63 changelog This release focuses on the alarm indicator dot: It now scales proportionally with the configured font size instead of always being a fixed 7px, so it looks right whether the clock is tiny or huge. In Retro LCD theme, its shadow used to render as a square instead of a circle. It's now a real second circular actor behind the dot, guaranteeing a properly rounded shadow that still matches the diagonal "ghost" look of the digits. Fixed two actors (the dot and its shadow) that were missing explicit .destroy() calls in disable(). Alongside that, some general hardening: removed a couple of unused leftover fields, cleaned up a duplicated function call, fixed a theme-context signal leak when switching between panel and widget mode, and debounced font-size/glow-intensity changes so rapid slider adjustments trigger one style recalculation instead of dozens. No new permissions, dependencies, or settings keys. Thank you for reviewing, and best regards! :)
