I think you should be able to combine using the fill option, the font changing, and the font resizing, to get exactly the equivalent of the default clock. Or something very very close.

- Edit -

Now that you're shipping images in with the clock styles, perhaps we can make even more optification? I mean, the images don't need to be in rootfs, right?

BTW: Since I let the latest update to it's thing, Wonko, I see that it fixed the Clock and Alarms status menu button with the new update. So just some verification for you, it should properly revert back for them.

Now that I've figured out how to do this keep-updating-clock thing, I'm probably within a day or two of spare fiddling time to releasing the clock style I've been working on for like two months now. It's a bit abysmal how long it's taken, but hey, I went from someone with no coding ability to someone who can actually sorta-kinda do basic Python stuff.

And all thanks to you, Wonko, for liking my original 'make your status menu binary clock have the option to show normal numbers too'.
