How would I go about building the clock applet? Source, apps needed?

Which clock? The one in the panel - or the time clock on the desktop?

If the panel - is it the default clock - or the clock from the calendar applet?

So that applet is one of the default applets from upstream budgie-desktop.

You’ll need to “hack” the code - [How to hack the budgie desktop on ubuntu](https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/how-to-hack-the-budgie-desktop-on-ubuntu/574)

The clock applet code is here - [https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/tree/master/src/applets/clock](https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/tree/master/src/applets/clock)
