Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

I did read rhrough the whole thread but must of missed that, sorry & thanks :)

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

I created a clock plugin, it is based on the binary clock but the color changes based on the time. Here is the code:

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

Is it possible to have two clocks in the status tray, with different time zones?

Good idea for this...! Might as well implement this style also to BCD Clock as that's the one I use :p

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

Nice to see more and more custom clocks being created. :)

I just uploaded version 0.6.0 to extras devel.
This version finally uses gconf for storing the settings.
Hence, your settings will be persistent and not getting lost, e.g., on reboots.

The use of gconf also enables other applications to set option values.
This could be particularly useful for implementing a "settings application" which could hook into the control panel.

Furthermore, this version adds a setting for "scaling" the font size.
This is especially useful for fonts that are too big (as pointed out by Raif), or just if you want a smaller display.

Certainly. Here is the BCD version.

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

How do you create a package? I am working on a few more clock themes and want to post them to extras-devel, but I don't know where to start. Is there a good tutorial somewhere (or a few steps someone could list)?

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

cant update to version 6......or i have to remove the old first??

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

Were you able to install the earlier versions? What error is it giving you? What do the logs say? It's useless to just say it didn't work if you aren't going to go into as much detail as you possibly can.

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

i'm not saying it did't work for me.....i just cant update to the latest version(CURRENT v5) via app man and xterm.....
