I've just released a first version of ProximityClock.
ProximityClock is a simple application that basically shows a fullscreen digital clock when you "close" the proximity sensor. The application can be enabled/disabled through an home widget.
How would I typically use ProximityClock? I mean, I know how to activate it, but why?
I usually use it during the night, sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and trying to see the time in a wristwatch is a bit harder....with ProximityClock I can simply pass my hand over my N900 and it show me a big clock simpler to understand
any screenshots ? and how do you close the proximity sensor ?
I didn't take any screenshot because they are useless. The app is simply composed by an home widget (that is a button with an icon) and a fullscreen digital clock.
Maybe I can make a video that would be more useful.
You can "close" the proximity sensor by passing your finger over it. The proximity sensor is place just under the front camera (top left corner).
I decided to try it out today, i found it pretty useful generally. But the default time out period is somewhat long IMO, i mean is it meant for checking the clock and immediately disappear, or it's a persistent clock?
24 hours/12hours choice would be a nice addition as well. But great work nonetheless
