Retro; the customizable clock widget is now available on Flathub in v2

What's new:

• 24/12h support (follows GNOME Settings)
• Energy usage optimizations
• Better support for round clocks
• Controls moved out of the way

What do you think of the floating header bar?

I was not aware GNOME supported desktop widgets. I'll need to try that out.
Or is that simply an ordinary application? If so, is it possible to set it to not just open automatically, but also always be in the same location?

@cjr it's an ordinary application

I could implement start on boot using the background portal.

But i think we need something a bit more powerful like https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-specs/-/merge_requests/79


Desktop entry save/restore state (!79) · Merge requests · xdg / xdg-specs · GitLab

The idea is simple: Ensure applications can be saved/restored correctly in any situation such as: Restoring open apps when a desktop is restarted

Ok, makes sense. I just misunderstood the term "widget" in the original post. Really cool looking clock application, though!
