The gnome-control-center panel I’ve been working on for the last many weeks is now ready for review, including a new chart widget for showing time spent using the computer screen (so you have some visibility into your compute use habits).

Glad to finally have this off my plate and on its way to being reviewed and hopefully merged.

The chart widget is the most complex widget I’ve ever written, coming in at roughly 4000 lines of code.

Turns out that combining rendering for large and small screens, CSS styling, dark mode, high contrast mode, an entirely visual layout of data, accessibility requirements for the visually impaired, RTL *and* a date-based time axis makes things quite complex. Dates especially.

There are going to be bugs in it.
