The assets and some? of the scripting for it are in a bundle at:

/System/Library/ExtensionKit/Extensions/WallpaperMacintoshExtension.appex

Can see the time and date being added here I think:

System6ControlPanel.program

    start simultaneous
        scale out
        let image = "System6ControlPanel"
        ...
        ...
        add time at 267, 165 name "Geneva12"
        add date at 274, 239 name "Geneva12"
    end simultaneous

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that's exactly the rationale behind the 'stateless functional components' introduced in 0.14.

I use browserify and the brfs transform [0], but I know a lot of folks don't like mixing up other module systems with angular. Your approach is probably the easiest tbh.

There might be some way to load them into $templateCache on build, but that would kill lazy loading

Grouping files by feature has made navigating and reasoning about a codebase so much easier. I've even found myself grouping stylesheets & test files alongside templates and app code, it really helps enforce the idea of composing smaller apps together.

Google has released a recommended app structure similar to this as well [0], though I haven't actually seen it being used too often in the projects I've come across.
