The time and the date light up under the pointer has been fixed.

See more details at : https://github.com/pdulvp/pmane-sa/issues/9

• the strip's time and date are caption buttons rather than labels, so each

lights up under the pointer and presses in as the buttons beside them do

• the hover and the pressed look come from the style, leaving no colour of

ours to keep in step with the scheme

• the room the clock carried in its own margins moved into the layout: a

button's padding is what its hover panel hugs

The time and the date light up under the pointer

_{2026-10-31-1330-the-time-and-the-date-light-up-under-the-pointer.md — 2026-10-31 13:30}

The two labels the clock was split into open panes when clicked but show
nothing under the pointer, so neither looks like something to click.

Decisions

• They become caption buttons rather than painted labels. The strip's

other clickable things are QToolButtons in auto-raise, and a button gets
the hover and the pressed look from the style, with no colour of ours to
keep in step with the scheme.

• The space around them moves into the layout. A button's own padding is

what the hover panel hugs, so the margins that kept the clock clear of the
title and the window buttons are added as spacing beside them instead.

• Their clicks become clicked(), which is what a button has, so the two

branches watching for a press in the event filter go.

Steps

• [x] 1. src/TitleBar.h: m_clock and m_date become QToolButton *.
• [x] 2. src/TitleBar.cpp: built as text-only auto-raise buttons with the

spacing beside them, opening their panes from clicked(); the event
filter loses the two label branches.

• [x] 3. Built, and looked at the strip in docs/images/main.png: the two

read flat at rest, "14:59 31/10/2026", with the gap between them and
the room beside them kept. The hover and the pressed look are the
style's own, as on the caption buttons next to them.
