So has kcalc's. :-) I don(t mind the frame in SOME configurations, but I don't think it should be a configuration option in it's own right. The frame should be there when it makes sense, and it should be left out when it doesn't. I think the criteria for the frame should be: * When the clock background matches the kicker background: no frame * All other cases: a frame Since everyone seems to be very concerned about the clock these days, it would also be nice if the Date/Timezone indication would be using proper colors. Currently the date-text uses the color that is configured for the time-text, but the background of the data-text differs from the time-text, so one may be readable while the other one is not. Either the date-text should not use the color configured for the time-text, or the background of the date-text should match with the background of the rest of the clock.
