I am not sure if it is possible to also add the time in the toolbar (from a 3rd party app), I will have to look deeper into the code for that. Although I agree with Shaggy, e-Ink is not the correct type of display to run an application that does a lot of (power draining) screen updates.
Thanks Mackx first of all. It is a absolutely personal demand anyway, so I originally just want to check 'the current time' when the screen is refreshed, instead of refreshing the screen every minute to update the watch.

But I more like your first idea to make a small clock-application. How about this? If the time function can be called from the menu and I can create a shortcut in the toolbox space in the left bottom, then I when I click the tool button, I can check the time. Again, personal thinking. I mean I dont care whether it is possible.
