Review of "Retro LCD 7-Segment Clock" version 69

Details Page Preview

Vintage digital display with a high-fidelity 7-segment font. 10 color themes, custom colors, ghost segments, CRT scanlines, desktop widget mode, a quick color-switch menu, and integrated alarms with an on-screen dialog so they're never missed. Reads its own bundled font and alarm sound files, and copies the bundled font into ~/.local/share/fonts on first opening preferences so the live preview renders correctly; no other file access.

Retro LCD 7-Segment Clock - v69 changes - Added 2 new color themes: VFD teal and Nixie orange. Now 10 themes total. - Added ghost segments: an optional faint "unlit" digit pattern behind the clock, like a real LCD panel shows before it's powered on. - Added a lamp test on startup: briefly flashes all segments when the extension loads, then settles into the normal display. - Added minute flicker: a subtle brightness dip each time the minute changes, for that old-display feel. - Added a CRT scanlines overlay option, for a retro tube/VFD look. All four new effects are off by default, so nothing changes for existing users unless they turn them on in Appearance preferences. Kind regards Gracias :) No changes to alarm behavior or existing settings keys; only new keys were added (ghost-segments, startup-lamp-test, minute-flicker, crt-scanlines).
