As I have said, if it does not crash with others, it would be exactly what I need. I want to see the time and date on the status bar. Without the pluggin, I have to open the calendar app to see what date it is! That's bad.

(I am thinking of making a few more but temporarily ran out of ideas).
Showing multiple timezones, as per the request upthread somewhere?

Great idea! That may take a day or so, as I will have to figure out the settings panel stuff.

Anyone know yet what the useful limit is on the width of the clock?
If not, I will report back as my next mod needs 16 characters width.

Cheers all

There's no "limit" from a coding stand point (except maybe what the python engine or the N900's hardware or Maemo five can support). It's just that if you make it too big, it will keep widening the status icon area, hiding more and more of the rest of the status bar. I don't know if it maxes out towards the very end, but by then it's already a usability PITA if the user using the clock style wants to open the menu of an app that has its menu in the status bar.

Hi wonko... there's a bug on the latest version... the setting for 24/12 hour clock won't work on BcdClock. It just stays at 24 hours even if I set it to 12 hours. Also the time seems inaccurate. Not sure but it looks like it's 1 hour delayed.

Just uploaded version 0.9.0 to extras-devel.
This version fixes the BcdClock twelve-hour mode and only applies the "Pad Zeros" setting to hours.
Furthermore, this version is compatible to the Klingon fonts which can be installed via the following package:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/ttf-klingon
Go grab 'em now to increase your nerd-level even further!

Edit: I attached a screenshot of a clock with Klingon fonts.

Alright,
first of all: happy new year all!

I made some major changes with respect to the packaging.
Instead of having the status area plugin and the control panel plugin in separate packages, I decided to move both together into a single package.
Hence, from now on everything will come bundled in the "advanced-clock-plugin" package.
The first "all-inclusive" version is 0.9.2 and should be available in extras-devel at the time of writing.

As this is quite a big change there are various possibilities for things to break.
So, I'd like your feedback about the transition and if everything worked out fine.

Edit: Already found the first issue: the new package was categorized as "libs".
Version 0.9.2-1 fixes this issue and is correctly categorized as "user/desktop".
Furthermore, I changed the description that appears in the application manager to read "Advanced Clock Plugin" instead of "advanced-clock-plugin".
