More info on lockscreen

Hi,
Would it be possible to add more information on the lockscreen as default, like time and date.
Pop!_OS displays this beautifully.

Would be a nice feature, keep in mind that Pop!_OS uses GDM though (am 99% sure), so it’s a different beast in that regard compared to LightDM.

The lock screen is gnome-screensaver. There is a C based language patch for budgie already included in the package. More than happy to help any aspiring developer to enhance this area.

Could in theory look at gnome-screensaver’s close cousin (mate-screensaver) to take some inspiration (and code).
