Rework clock style selection: Let user configure clock instead of selecting predefined styles

Feature Request

I reckon a massive list of clocks which are essentially just different fonts is confusing and ugly. And the fact things are chosen about those clocks is quite limiting, for instance the fact the analogue clock has to be off to the left.

My idea would be to instead have two options: Digital, and Analogue. Then under each of those you could pick settings like left or centred. For Digital you could select a font including maybe adding a custom font or a toggle to add some theme colours. For analogue you could select transparent and weather to show the date.

All of this together could make a system that is much more intuitive as it has less options on screen at once, and much more customisable as you are not limited too presets.

Sorry if this is a bit of a spew.

    Thanks for the feedback.
    We plan to make the clock style selection more intuitive, group some styles, and let you configure some settings instead of having those settings as separate predefined styles.

    However, we think that too much customization will add unnecessary complexity, which is why we will likely limit the options per clock style depending on the style itself. Most clocks will offer a list of fonts and color modes to choose from.

      Regardless of the level of clock customization you settle on, please just add a custom clock font option just like you already have for text font. Even if this setting only works with the default clock, this would be huge. All I need is to set 2 different custom fonts: one for the text (including app titles, date, battery, etc.) and another for clock numerals.
