Me too (only the mixer)...

Yeah, that way wm* things are hard to work with.

I don't know about -Buttons (any option that would specify a button
to be centered), but here wmmixer seems to be centered.

I like wmmixer very much; i tried some others but not any one of
them were any more impressive -- in terms of small binary size
& dependencies, and ease of placement -- than wmmixer itself.

I like analog clocks & watches w/ decent contrast. Rclock is what
i have (not in -Buttons, on its own); i use its title at the bottom
for date. Perhaps some digital display clock would be able to
easily display both date & time in the compressed space.
You can see the rclock in the screenshot on lower left...

(Those are old pictures; currently i do have wmmixer centered
inside -Buttons.)
