2. You can:
   • Change the date/time format (e.g., “HH:mm | EEE d MMM”).
   • Set different colors for date and time.
   • Select from various icon styles (e.g., the calendar number style similar to Itsycal).
   • Choose whether to display seconds, next week, etc.
3. All changes will be real-time previewed and applied.

Step 3: Manage Events and Calendars
