Well, after a monumental struggle I think we have N900 Cairo Clock ported to Python Qt on its way. Here is a teaser



And here is the 7 lines of code that has taken the best part of a day
to read the Cairo Clock Themes into Qt

Code:
def paintEvent(self, event):
        self.scene = QtGui.QGraphicsScene()
        for path in self.theme:
            self.svgItem=QGraphicsSvgItem(path)
            renderer=self.svgItem.renderer()
            self.scene.addItem(self.svgItem)
            
        self.grView.setScene(self.scene)

Hey mikec, I see that you're using one of the newer clock themes that are available.

How did you get that to show on the desktop correctly?

I've tried all of the newer ones and the full image of the clock get's cut and gutted under shin's version in Diablo.

first release will be in the next week or so, but will not be a widget, as I have to learn how to convert an app to a widget.

Of course I dont know what I dont know

@Addison QtSVG does all the magic, look at the quality also. Shin was rendering to a bitmap before putting to screen and you have to worry about size, antialiasing and all sorts of crap. Qt just seems to do its thing. Next step is to animate the hands, which with QGraphics view should be really simple, and will allow us to do some serious SVG animation in the future.

Have a look at this clock

Wow!

Thanks for the quick reply!

You and shin need to start sharing information because I really do love having this on the desktop.
