SUMMARY
Very minor issue... The calendar-view's current date (UI header title) doesn't update during midnight when the digital-clock's window is opened. After reopening it, the date is correctly updated, as expected. This implies that the header text has no timer attached to update it while the UI is shown. A clock widget with an integrated calendar should always update correctly.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open digial-clock window
2. Wait for clock to pass midnight
3. Calendar's current date doesn't get updated

I believe this is the responsible QML part, but I'm neither a C++ nor Qt dev, and don't know QML either, so I can't submit a MR myself.

A fix should be trivial. When opening the window/view, attach a timer that triggers on the next day and that will update the header text. Cancel the timer when closing/hiding the window/view.
