Re: [Announce] OS2008 Statusbar Clock
 

Yeah thanks, was pretty obvious as soon as I found the file. Didn't know ls -l doesn't display everything :confused:

What goes for "vi".. never :p nano all the way :D

But thanks it works now :)

N800 with latest released OS 2008.

Thank joo

Hi fiferboy,

Thanks for the applet, keep up the good work...

...How about combining this with your previous brightness/volumne applet and add a bar graph above (brightness) and below (volume) the time. This you'll get all the functionality in a single applet.

Re: [Announce] OS2008 Statusbar Clock
 

Another good idea. I didn't mean to take credit for the Advanced Backlight Applet, though. Someone else did the good work on that. I am still looking into how to best overload the plugin to provide more functionality for the sacrificed screen space.

Once I post the source somewhere it will probably be much easier for someone who has written a useful plugin to add clock functionality. It is extremely simple code.

Thou shalt use JOE!!!!!!
joe is, among other things, stylus friendly. And better. Than everything else! :p

Re: [Announce] OS2008 Statusbar Clock
 

I didn't mean to turn this into an editor flamewar! :D

I will check out Joe (stylus friendly has me curious) but I usually use vi for small files on the tablet or quick programming on a Linux desktop.

I updated the first post to include a link to the source code (please let me know if you see any problems or potential memory leaks! I am always a little bit hazy on when GTK needs me to free something manually and when it does it itself)

The source is here:

Re: [Announce] OS2008 Statusbar Clock
 

Edit .joerc and enable -mouse, makes stylus tap => position the cursor, and stylus drag => select block (in joe, not just xterm select).

Also, joe relies heavily on ^K (as a command prefix). With an N810, or a BT keyboard, you're fine, but on an N800 you need a solution for that. I defined an F2 key in the xterm toolbar. Then I changed .joerc so that all the ^K commands could also be used with .k2 (termcap for F2), allowing F2 X for save and exit, instead of ^K X.

Re: [Announce] OS2008 Statusbar Clock
 

fiferboy, For some reason I thought you'd done both applets... Ooops!

I'd still like to combine the clock with some other functionality if I were to give up so much valuable space... Possibly a Bluetooth switch.

Re: [Announce] OS2008 Statusbar Clock
 

I've got to strongly back this suggestion. Is it possible?

Like many people, I don't keep the clock applet on, and the worst part of that is that it makes setting an alarm a bit of a pain (set clock applet on, set alarm, set applet off).

Re: [Announce] OS2008 Statusbar Clock
 

I'm working on this one. It will definitely be in the next update, then I will look at overloading the plugin to display some more useful information.

If anyone knows the command to launch the clock, it would save me some digging.
