For those interested in astronomy and/or my 'Mephemeris' application, I was inspired to develop a desktop clock applet based on the following thread:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=16720
I was especially inspired by the 'pyclock.py' example presented in that thread. I decided to try making an 'astronomy flavored' desktop applet myself, using Python. Python is the only way that I could attempt this, but a current limitation in the Hildon desktop Python bindings also limits what I can currently do. This applet again uses the incredibly valuable 'PyEphem' libraries.
In any case, I packaged what little I had, and put it on my web page (like the other stuff):
http://darethehair.googlepages.com/software.html
That page has a few more screen shots, as well as links to the 'deb' file, and the 'README' file as well -- if you want to find out more about it before installing it.
WARNING: Even though this applet has not caused *me* any problems, you should use it on your own risk. If you do, let me know what you think of it. I tend to think of it more like 'eye candy' than something seriously useful
Here is a small screenshot showing one of the configurations, along with the 'normal' clock widget:
NOTE: Now upgraded to version 0.22 (bug fix!)
P.S. Don't be intimidated by the large size -- one of the options is to turn off the text info, which makes it fairly compact i.e. just three bars or three concentric circles.
