[Feature Request] Dynamic Clock

[FrenchToucan]

The calendar is dynamic but the clock isn't. Would be a nice visual effect if the clock icon reflected the time. This feature is present in some other icon packs.

Hello! Sorry for taking so long to respond.

It's kinda possible, but we can lost support for some launchers like Microsoft and Before since they don't support XML icons, so the clock will not be displayed. If we knew the number of people who use these unsupported launchers, we could weigh the pros and cons. I'm playing around with the dynamic clock right now, maybe I'll figure some kind of fallback, but I don't promise anything.

I will leave the issue opened for a while.

So, for now, the most straightforward option is to build a separate FOSS APK with some patches, because we'll have to upgrade the SDK version, which could cost us about 500 users with older Android versions. On the other hand, it would be a goodwill gesture to get them to update their phones, hahaha!

I've built the apk (if you have the GPlay version, it'll install as a separate app), but you have to download it from Artifacts of the FOSS workflow. Later, I might add the apk to Releases, but for now, that's it. Check if it works for you.

Also you can build it by yourself in your fork, but the apk will be self-signed. Just don't forget to check the 'Dynamic Clock' box when starting the workflow.

Amazing. Works perfectly (obviously). Downloading from a GitHub Action is no problem. Thank you @flameshikari !
