I'm working on that at the moment, although it's a bit slow. The clock needs to be in the icons linear layout, this will make it move out of the way when a notification comes. But it's how to combine that and having it centered that's currently eluding me.
I can get the clock to the left of the status icons, or the left of the screen, but not in the center.

Can you help me in only getting transparent status bar with the clock in default place?
