Hex Color Clock for Garmin

So, I wanted to make a watchface for Garmin watches... and it took me quite a long time to finish it.

I saw this concept few years ago, that clock is showig time but represented in color. We use RGB for representing colors in computers: R is for red part, G is for green part and B is for blue part. The numbers are represented with hexadecimal values from 0 to 255.

But nothing stand in a way to use only decimal numbers and part of the current time. Hours, Minutes and Seconds becomes Red Green and Blue element of the color. That way each second of the day can be represented by different color.

Sounds simple but it took me a while to figure it out in Garmin SDK and Monkey C. Documentation is poor and it took me a few tries to get it to work properly. It was in 2023 and despite basic concept was working I couldn't make myself to finish it. Fortunately after a bit of a break in the development, AI agents started to be useful, so I asked them to polish my code a bit.

I started to add more and more features, but decided that maybe I first release my initail concept to have it available and I can work on more customisation in the spare time. So I stripped everything that wasn;t esential and released Hex Color Clock watchface for Garmin
