Multiple lines of text in a label?

[axman6]

I'm just getting started with SketchyBar, and was hoping to replicate a lot of the things I like about iStat Menus. One thing I love is being able to have the clock show the date on one line and the time on another

Is there any way to achieve this with sketchybar? I tried using:

sketchybar --set "$NAME" label="$(printf "%s\n%s\n" "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d')" "$(date '+%a %H:%M:%S')")"

which should result in a string with a newline between the date and time, but all I end up with is the two strings concatenated. I had a look around for answers online and in the discussions and couldn't find anything useful.

Not sure if it's the right solution, but what I found in other people's setups and works for me is creating separate items for each line, and manipulating them with y_offset and width. Here's my 2-line date / time widget for reference.
