If I was a good teacher, I'd get you on live chat and we'd go over your code together. But I'm lazy and making this myself was faster: Attachment 16825
Just delete the ".txt" and put in the same folder as the other clocks. (/opt/maemo/usr/lib/advanced-clock-plugin/clocks/ - remember you have to be root to save there)
It's a mix of messy and okay code-wise. I left the copyright part as just Wonko's; I didn't change enough to bother adding my name.
If you look, all I did was change the text resizing values to those of the Digital Clock, commented out some of the lines, and edited one or two more, changing some variable names/order/position of things, etc.
You can delete the commented out lines without worrying about it (unless you want to add the year later). As is, it just doesn't show the year at all, and if you change it to twelve hour mode, the PM/AM appears after the date. The font size is pretty big by default, but that's what the scaling value is there for. If you want it much smaller, but want it centered instead of pinned down, just edit the 'move_to' line in the draw_clock section (and anywhere else they exist). Edit the second value, 35, to something smaller. For text, this determines where the bottom of the text is pinned to. 16±1 is about where the center of the box is. So ~25 or so might be a good spot if you shrink it... Depending on how much you shrink it of course.
Damn.
I am trying to get this to work, but it just will not display. I have moved the file to the /opt/maemo/usr/lib/advanced-clock-plugin/clocks/ folder, renamed it, and it shows in the list of clocks. I select it and click done, and nothing happens - the previous style remains displayed... If I use "pkill -f hildon-status-menu" the Status bar refreshes and the old clock style vanishes but the new one does not load.
Somebody please help! Could anyone perhaps try loading the DateTimeLinear style that Mentalist Traceur created and see if it works for them?
hello i was recently playin with my n900 and i uninstalled the date-time panel (default one) from my n900 now it no longer shows up in my settings and i realized that my date and time is messed up
i forgot the name of the panel to apt-get install it from x-term...
can someone kindly tell me the name to enter in x-term? thanks in advance
i tried entering a custom format string but it doesn't seem to do anything to the clock...i tried %H:%M....nothing. is there something else i'm missing?
