it does exist. here's an example:

and here's a white noise generator:

connecting the audio/mic ouput jack to larger speakers with more bass response would probably increase the effectiveness of both apps.

Re: FlipClock Beta

Sorry to have let this slip for a bit guys, I've been caught up with some other unexpected stuff that I had to take care of! But I should have some time this evening to sit down, go through requests and things and get back to making some progress here!

Thanks!

Re: FlipClock Beta

I've never been so excited for an alarm clock before! Definitely installing this when the N900 shows up.

Any idea if it's possible for a skin to have different glyphs for every digit?

Very cool look man.

Joppu, that looks very cool! It will certainly help with race-induced dreams :)

Jolouis once explained to me:
The main time is simply a set of images, named 0.png - 10.png that are displayed in the co-ordinates defined by the theme file according to whatever time that digit is supposed to show. So for example, if the time is 12:41, the digit 1.png is rendered at the first position, 2.png at the second, 4.png at the third, 1.png again at the fourth.
If a digit is supposed to be blank (i.e. 2:40, the first digit is blank), then 10.png is rendered in that digit's position.

I don't think that different glyphs are possible.

Re: FlipClock Beta

Hello
I'm new maemo user and I could use some help. I would like install flipclock to my n900 and my question is how do I do it.

Go to thread # 252 and you will find the link to FlipClock for N900.

Re: FlipClock Beta

Okay let me try to get caught up a bit here...

Quote:

Jolouis, am I the only one that occationally looses the red seconds indicator with version 0.9.6? When the red indicator disapears, the 0 to 60 second scale remains.

Also, please center the "Alarm Off" text on the button, thanks!

Also, please center the date and day of the week on the bottom center button.

Also, please change the text color of ""Night Mode" and "Exit" from white to black.

The seconds indicator will "disappear" when the tablet goes inactive, but should return once active again so you shouldn't visibly see this. In Insomniac mode the seconds indicator should always be there. I have had one or two moments when I've noticed it "jump" two seconds ahead instead of just one if that's what you mean?...

Centering of text will be taken care of, I just implemented it. I will also make the text black on those buttons and fix up the Night mode button which, as is pointed out by others, just needs to be simplified.

I think that the brightness setting can be even darker when it can be set to '1'. Jolouis explained us that '3' is the lowest setting, but when I used 'Advanced backlight', setting '1' was defenitely darker than seting '3'. would it be possible to change the slider to '1'?

After setting flip to "3", and waiting for Insomniac timeout to occur the brightness is the same as "setting 1" in Advanced Backlight; the only difference is that Advanced Backlight takes whatever value you pick and adds 2 to it... so when you choose 1, it actually sets the tablet to value 3. If you choose 1 or 2, the backlight is OFF. Please check again, because I'm using the code FROM advanced backlight, so there can't be a difference there...

UPDATE: mistery solved. Icon cache isn't updated on uninstall.

Thanks for pointing that out, it runs during install but not uninstall. This is fixed in SVN now.

dixie Nixie Schnixie!

Nixie tubes, or at least the best I've got so far (I haven't even gone near Ciro's original Nixie tubes yet) will be an available theme hopefully very soon. I'm planning on spending some time tonight tweaking it and getting it up to par (a lot of the interface has changed since my first Nixie design, so need to incorporate those changes to maintain good flow/consistency).

I don't think that different glyphs are possible.

Can somebody explain what's meant by different glyphs? As sampieter explained, the different digits are separate PNG files that are drawn at the given co-ordinates... Not quite sure what more than that would be different as they're all completely independent right now...? or do you mean different for each part of the clock?...

More to come... thanks all so far!

Re: FlipClock Beta

Anti-noise generator would be pretty cool, it's on now on the list of "one day I'll try and get Flip to do this" along with the "ambient background noise" generator (I haven't forgotten, it's just on the long term goals rather than short term list).

As for the N900 I noticed that a few new Maemo5 people have started joining in on our Flip fun here! thanks everyone, welcome! (and thanks for the enthusiasm liveslow!) Right now Flip is still having some issues with working fully on N900 (it crashes sometimes apparently), but any feedback you can give will help me fix it as I don't have a N900 to test with!

When wanting to switch to nightmode, segfaults with:
got originalBrightLevel dim: 250
got original dim: 30
No Gconf key for display brightness found!
800 width 480 height
segmentation fault

Every minute segfaults with:
animating frame 0 on digit 3
segmentation fault

Okay awesome feedback thanks! Let me do some playing around in the SDK here and see if I can reproduce it! With the "every minute segfaults", is that when in Night mode, or just any mode?

Thanks!
