Comment(by Eben):

 I agree, but that doesn't change the fact that we don't have a clock ''at
 all'' for precisely this reason.  We tried several times to incorporate it
 into early designs, to no avail.  In any case, I also figured that an
 analog clock would fit in nicely with the graphical style of the device
 icons, and that offering a digital readout in the primary palette
 ''might'' be sufficient, but I agree with the points you made regarding
 readability as well.

 In any case, it seems that someone could take the initiative to provide a
 template for this, so we can test it out and play with the various
 parameters until we get something that works.  If it turns out that a
 colored rectangle with a digital display is most appropriate, then that's
 what we should use.
