Enlightenment DR17 digital clock module

I've recently switched back to linux after a few years of Windows. I decided to run with the e17 desktop shell from cvs, and everything is installed and working fairly well.
Before I dove head first into e17, I started out with the more familiar KDE. I loved the plasma gadget that allowed you to have a digital clock on your desktop, much like e17's tclock module. The one glaring difference is customization. I cannot for the life of me change the font style or size on tclock. I have even tried decompiling it and changing it in the .edc, but I think I may have done that wrong.

My question is thus: Does anyone have a better suggestion for a customizable digital clock for my desktop on e17?

I would hate to have to go back to KDE or similar over a clock, but it's the only timepiece in my computer room.

Thanks!

You can try using Conky (http://conky.sourceforge.net/) (http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/conky/) (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=67718)

@cormanthor, please try this.

Add gadget "clock" to desktop.
Left click this clock, now appear calendar and settings button.
Click settings, choose "digital".

Have a nice digital clock on the desktop now.

I didn't know that, thank you. Next time I will click the gadgets with both mouse buttons
