It's the small things: Android O to score an animated clock icon

See, Chris Lacy has recently uncovered an interesting albeit minor feature that could be officially rolling along with Android O, and that one is an... animated clock icon that'd dynamically change as time passes by, just like in iOS. The animated clock will reportedly make an official debut in the Google Clock app in the Pixel launcher once Android O goes official. 

However, the code and the support for this feature is already present in the Android O Beta, allowing any willing developers to implement this feature in their Android launchers, and that's exactly what Chris Lacy has already done in its Action Launcher, The animation is present on the homescreen and in the app drawer as well. We suppose that the official animated clock won't be that much different than the one Chris Lacy has already thrown inside Action Launcher.
