I think these could be combined. Show the clock, and a drop down above/below it to select hours or minutes. But also allow left-click and right-click for hours and minutes. That way both beginners and power users can have what they want. > P.S. I'm sorry if this is not the right place to post this suggestion.

I don't think there was a wrong list for this message, as it has elements of interest to both design and dev (so maybe crossposting would have been appropriate). In any case, since you do have code and everything, I would suggest you also file it as a bug (severity enhancement) and attach the code there. -- Heikki Toivonen
