[feature-request] Would it be possible to add the current time in the middle of circle or the current username

[mxaddict]

I don't know if this is already supported or not, but would it be possible to add the current time/clock or the current logged in username in the middle of the screen?

If it's possible I've not been able to find it in the docs/help text

There is a fork of swaylock called swaylock-effects, which supports time display with the --clock option, and with its --indicator-image option and some work you could make it display extra text like the username. swaylock-effects proper is not currently maintained, although it does have a recursive fork at https://github.com/jirutka/swaylock-effects , which has a recent release (but, as far as I'm aware, no guarantees of future feature updates.)

I think both of those are unmaintained.

Would it make sense to create a PR to add a feature like that to main swaylock repo?

Cause if could work on a PR if we can get it merged here, as I'd love to use just the main swaylock with such a feature! ❤️

Sorry, but we want to keep swaylock simple.
