Re: [Announce] binaryclock
 
Did anyone else notice the binary clock still eating processor time even when its homescreen isn't selected and even when you have other programs in focus?

It shouldn't be much problem fixing it.

Re: [Announce] binaryclock
 
Btw, i got an idea for a new feature (besides my request for UNIX time binary), how about adding a GUI for customizing the images?

I imagine it could be kinda like this:

* One slot for the background image and one slot for a foreground overlay

And for the LEDs (these settings would be the same for each individual LED)

* A background image

* A foreground image

* An image of the LED turned off (would go in the between the previous two

* An image of the LED turned on (positioned like the previous), to be blended using normal blending

* An image of the LED turned on (on top of everything) to be blended using additive blending

Add a tinting option (a color picker, with saturation and brightness parameters included, not just hue) for each layer and a checkbox to lock the tintings together. And if possible add an option to toggle between regular tinting (which transforms a grayscale from black to white into from black to color) and "mids tinting" (that turns a grayscale from black to white into from black to color to white), i'm not sure what is the right name for the second mode, for each layer.

Using PNG you can have gradual transparency, good for compositing; and with a few formats (including PNG) you can have a fully transparent image for any slot you don't wanna use.

@Wonko

could you add an option for hiding "second" digits ? (for battery saving)

Just uploaded version 0.3.0 to extras-devel.
This version pauses the clock when the homescreen is changed or the screen is locked.

### Feature request ###

What about a gray-code clock!? Too complicated... there is even a gray-code solver on iphone.

Then the clock pauses/suspends as well.
Actually, the clock should always be suspended when it changes from visible to invisible and be resumed when it becomes visible again.

Just in case you want binaryclock also for your desktop you can grab it from sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qbin...files/Releases
Note: the desktop version is named "Q Binary Clock".

I also have an interest in the Unix time idea :)
( Many years ago i wrote a windows and a java app for a similar
clock which is a version of a Unix clock)

I downloaded from sourceforge version 0.4.0
to have a look through this but it is a binary blob.

I have a desire to put such a creature into my locales,
but no joy there as time locales in the n900 have
some things going on I cannot seem to get past just yet.:(
