Currently using your center clock option and absolutely loving it. This should have come with the (ugh) notification icons limit as it is perfect.
I'm curious, how do you do these exactly? Do you think there could be a way to tinker with the height of the status bar?
This is the only thing that bothers me about this phone. Setting the display cutout to punch hole helps, but it's still pretty massive, and waterfall cutout sets it to a decent height but leaves to black bars on each side of the screen on most apps, and has many annoying graphical issues.
