Hmmm, but this breaks the paradigm of the frame; I think Sugar should only officially support a clock in the devices tray. Simple hacks, of course, could allow people to change it to other corners, but I don't think it should even be an option, officially. > http://www.xades.com/proj/clock_frame_767_screenshot.png Also, the clock takes up a significant amount of space. Can we use the normal paradigm for device icons instead? If the clock simply read "12:34" and then additional information, such as the day and date, appeared within the palette, along with options for, perhaps, 12 or 24 hour time, etc. I think it would be a lot cleaner. I'd also recommend putting the text against a filled background, instead of the frame itself, to give it presence as a device object, and not just some text floating in the Frame. That said, great work on adding a clock! If I get a chance I could try mocking up some visual treatments.
