hard-to-read clock

SUMMARY
Analogue clock widget misses most numbers (and the dark theme one has distracting pattern in it.)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add analogue clock widget.
2. Sometimes have trouble reading it.

OBSERVED RESULT
Analogue clock widget misses most numbers (and the dark theme one has distracting pattern in it.)

EXPECTED RESULT
Option to have all numbers (preferably outside absolute position marks) and option for just black on white (Air light Oxygen theme) and plain (no pattern) white/light-grey on black (Oxygen dark theme).

I'm worried that having all of the numbers on by default would be too cluttering. And from the point of view of Oxygen and Air we can only change this default look.

Having all of the numbers as an option would mean having to patch the clock widget itself, which I'm not sure would be accepted. Technically it might mean having to load an entirely new SVG since we can't just add numbers to the existing clock.svg, but also have to replace the placeholder marks.

I see your concerns, but unless I see a clear way of how to move this forward, I don't think we can implement this.
