What's new

• Menu style: System, Light or Dark — in Preferences → Appearance, or straight from the quick menu
• Each click on the tray icon does something different: left-click opens the quick menu, right-click opens Preferences, middle-click copies the current time (right and middle are configurable)
• The hover tooltip shows the time and what each click does
• Right-clicking the top-bar clock opens the menu right under the clock
• New gallery, collage and social preview

Also in 17.5.0

• GNOME Shell 51 support (now 45–51)
• Seconds tick exactly on the second; invalid formats fall back instead of blanking the clock
• Crisp redrawn icon, rebuilt Preferences with live preset samples and a format-codes cheat sheet
