wow!
Yes, the resizing of the bars would be pretty cool!
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if you're still looking to modify this, but here's a modified DateTimeClock file that gets rid of the spaces.

Remove the .txt from the name and place in /opt/maemo/usr/lib/advanced-clock-plugin/clocks/
and kill the status bar.

Yes, reboot after each try: impossible to make it work. May be wrong files?
Should I paste the files somewhere in my personnal theme?

cevenn - no, the folder is correct - though I'd make sure your files actually got copied (Advanced Clock Plugin doesn't actually take any icons from your current theme, all of its images are in their own folders). Honestly, I don't know what the issue is.

Meanwhile, on a happier note: CpuMem Clock!
CpuMemClock.tar
(Same process - unpack to the root directory / and it should put it into the right folder from there.) Restart hildon-status-menu or reboot to let it get loaded up, or else it won't show up.

As per bitrocky's idea: this is a clock style including just CPU and MEM bars under the time. The bars resize with the size changes of the clock - length-wise at least (height-wise they're always three pixels - the size of the CPUMEM Applet's bars).

Everything else is the same, except since they're now horizontal, RAM use is from right to left, CPU is from left to right. Even when full they never touch. To make it more obvious that the cpu bar maxed out, I made the fifth bar for the cpu graph red.

If you have Advanced Clock Plugin installed already, I'm not sure what the issue is (do you have it installed from Extras, Testing, or Devel?) - if you don't have Advanced Clock Plugin installed, or you have it installed but Advanced Clock Plugin isn't working right normally, that's probably the issue...

Trouble with Theme Customizer?

Are you trying to use them in the 12 hour mode? Coz they won't work with the sizes you have used.... Your just get a grey box..

Hope this helps

I have it installed but as I have stated before I can only ever get the binary clock to work. Every other clock just gives a blank space

Thanks, but... no way!

Could someone give me again the files for Q_Brushed Aluminium-Clock?

Thanks!

Thanks Mentalist for your CpuMemClock!

It works quite good, although I noticed that sometimes the cpu bar doesn't show the same value as cpumem applet, it "blinks" instead.
I'll try to find a reproducable case for this.

btw, I changed your clockstyle to just show the cpubar, because I don't even need the mem bar most of the times.

Here is a screenshot of my CpuClock and the archive:
