Currently, the desktop widget displays:

• Time in 24-hour format
• Date in YYYY/MM/DD format
• CPU, Disk, and Memory usage indicators

It would be helpful to make these elements configurable.

Proposed Enhancements

1. Time Format Options

• 24-hour (current default)
• 12-hour with AM/PM

2. Date Format Options

• YYYY/MM/DD (current default)
• MM/DD/YYYY
• MM/DD/YY
• (Optional) Respect system locale automatically

3. Widget Element Customization

• Ability to show or hide CPU, Disk, and Memory indicators
• Ability to reorder elements (optional enhancement)
• Option to disable system indicators entirely for a minimal clock-only view

4. Readability Options

• Enable or disable text drop shadow
• Optional control over shadow intensity or style

Use Cases

• Users in different regions prefer different date formats.
• Some users prefer 12-hour time for readability.
• Minimalist setups may not require system resource indicators.
• On smaller screens, reducing clutter improves usability.

This would allow users to tailor the widget to their regional preferences, screen size, and visual environment. The current behavior could remain the default to preserve simplicity for users who do not need customization.
