And for the LEDs (these settings would be the same for each individual LED)

* A background image

* A foreground image

* An image of the LED turned off (would go in the between the previous two

* An image of the LED turned on (positioned like the previous), to be blended using normal blending

* An image of the LED turned on (on top of everything) to be blended using additive blending

Add a tinting option (a color picker, with saturation and brightness parameters included, not just hue) for each layer and a checkbox to lock the tintings together. And if possible add an option to toggle between regular tinting (which transforms a grayscale from black to white into from black to color) and "mids tinting" (that turns a grayscale from black to white into from black to color to white), i'm not sure what is the right name for the second mode, for each layer.

Using PNG you can have gradual transparency, good for compositing; and with a few formats (including PNG) you can have a fully transparent image for any slot you don't wanna use.
I also have an interest in the Unix time idea
( Many years ago i wrote a windows and a java app for a similar
clock which is a version of a Unix clock)

I downloaded from sourceforge version 0.4.0
to have a look through this but it is a binary blob.

I have a desire to put such a creature into my locales,
but no joy there as time locales in the n900 have
some things going on I cannot seem to get past just yet.
