No dice. The main widget apparently waits for the clock's draw_clock method to return before updating the display. (Wonko: Any chance of something that will let a custom clock update it?) Until then, my Flip Clock must wait.

First of all, excuse the late response.
Am pretty busy right now.
There are currently some limitations with respect to alarm handling.
E.g., I only tested it with a single alarm so far.
Also, alarms are only recognized when they are set when the plugin is already running.
http://faq.pygtk.org/index.py?req=sh...=faq23.037.htp
Limitation would be of course that the length of the animation must be less than one second.
Edit: and you would need to take care its only played once.
Also, I don't know how much performance something like this would need.
But I guess this would be something one needs to have a look at as well.

Hey there.
First let me tell you, that I really like the idea about having binary clock in the status area.
Second: I had one of the older versions instaled, then uninstalled as I was trying diffeent looks.
Third: here comes the problem. I'm unable to install the plugin now. The two python dependencies installs ok and for the plugin alone there's an error.
Now, what really is weird i can actually see the plugin's UI in my settings. So I guess it just didn't uninstall correctly the first time. I'm stuck now with the binary clock, which is ok, but lacks the configurability.
see the log from fapman attached.
Thanks in advance for any help

Now the new package tries to overwrite a file which is originally owned by the settings UI package.
In order to fix this you need to completely uninstall Advanced Clock Plugin including the settings UI and then you can reinstall the newer version.
You can do this e.g. with (as root):
Code:
dpkg -r advanced-clock-plugin dpkg -r advanced-clock-plugin-settings-ui
Excuse the inconvenience.

Oh well.
I indeed installed the plugin without any troubles, but now it's actually ain't working. I can change all settings and it'll accept it, but that's the last time it refreshes the clock. so right now it basically show only the time of last settings change.
I feel like my watches run out of battery.

Probably stupid question, but did you reboot? (Way too often I've seen people have package problems on the N900 because of a lack of rebooting.)

Can't we just have an optional "self.clock_refresh_rate = " variable, in the init area of the clock style? And then change the clock.py itself to check what that contains, and then if that's empty, set it to whatever the default is (minutes/seconds)?
You could enable it in, IDK, 100ths of a second. So a second-refresh rate would be self.clock_refresh_rate = 100, and so if someone REALLY wanted to make the resource hogging animated clocks some people here want, we could probably make that happen. I mean, you only need 30 frames per sec. to actually get smooth animation, and for something you're not looking at often, you could just set it to, say, 10, and then that's ten refreshes a second?
Personally, I'd be happy with just a 'refresh every second' option, myself, but if people really want their clocks hogging resources non-stop...
