Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

The updated version works now.

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

ahhh after the update it now works,

but I agree, settings needs to be moved to settings menu..

edit: also the clocks settings are reset to default when you reboot...

He's implementing both of those right now (this was just discussed on the previous page). He already said he's intending on figuring out the first one soon, and that the second one is something he was aware of and just hasn't gotten around to implementing.

But hey, it's early software, that happens.

I'm still impressed that three days ago this was just a binary clock widget copied over to the status bar - and now it's a completely plugin-able clock replacement. Awesome.

Meanwhile, Wonko, thanks for the fixes. What was the dependency your package was missing? Advance Power and Advance Interface Switcher also had the same issue right after PR1.3, except they'd screw up people's entire status menu. Last I checked we never did figure it out. (Also, I hadn't noticed the battery usage yesterday, but my battery did die quicker today, I noticed [ I only updated from 2.~ to 3.~ late in the day today]. I still had enough by the time I got home at the end of the day, so the phone didn't shut off, but it certainly dropped quicker than normal. Though I also am not 100% sure how much of that is it running off-screen, and how much of it is me doing other things, like editing my test clock and leaving a few terminals open with vi running in them for a few hours. *Shrug*)

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

Can you make it so that when I click it on the status bar it would open the alarms menu?

ISO-8601 compliant version

Wonko you have done it again, :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
you deserve an icon and a lot of thanks for all this !

Getting a clock that shows seconds in the status bar is simply heroic.

Nice, am looking forward to see some custom clocks. :)

Meanwhile, I uploaded version 0.3.0-1 to extras-devel.
This version suspends the operation when the display turns off and resumes when the display is turned on again.
Consequently, the battery usage should be significantly reduced.

Furthermore, I added a missing dependency.
It would be nice if all of you who had problems so far could check if this version resolves the issue.

Custom version here:
ISO-8601

Here is the hack of the original file:
(left some of the old code so the changes are apparent to everyone)

Code:

def get_name():

#    return "Date Time Clock"

    return "ISO_8601 Clock"



class ISO_8601(clock.Clock):

    def __init__(self, drawing_area):

        clock.Clock.__init__(self, drawing_area)



    def draw_clock(self):

        self.context.set_font_size(20)



# Draw date.in ISO-8601 compliant

        self.context.move_to(2, 16)



#        if self.show_seconds :

#            y = str(self.time.year)

#            if not self.twelve_hour_mode :

#                y = y[2:4]

#            text = y



        text = str(self.time.year) + "." + str(self.time.month).zfill(2) + "." + str(self.time.day).zfill(2)

        self.context.text_path(text)

        self.context.stroke()



# Draw time.

        self.context.move_to(2, 35)



        h = self.time.hour

        abrv = "AM"

        if self.twelve_hour_mode :

            if h == 0 :

                h = 12

            elif h > 12 :

                h = h % 12

                abrv = "PM"



        text = str(h).zfill(2) + ":" + str(self.time.minute).zfill(2)

        if self.show_seconds :

            text = text + ":" + str(self.time.second).zfill(2)

        

        self.context.text_path(text)

        self.context.stroke()



        if self.twelve_hour_mode :

            self.context.set_font_size(10)



            if self.show_seconds :

                self.context.move_to(89, 35)

            else :

                self.context.move_to(65, 35)

            

            self.context.text_path(abrv)

            self.context.stroke()



    def resize(self):

        self.drawing_area.set_size_request(110, 36)



#        if self.twelve_hour_mode :

#            if self.show_seconds :

#                self.drawing_area.set_size_request(110, 36)

#            else:

#                self.drawing_area.set_size_request(80, 36)

#        else :

#            if self.show_seconds :

#                self.drawing_area.set_size_request(90, 36)

#            else:

#                self.drawing_area.set_size_request(60, 36)

Which issue?
I ran it and have no problems that I can see:

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

yes, it is a great little app, love the analog clock!!

like MT said a few days ago it was a binary clock plugin........ look @ it now...

:D keep up the great work Wonko!

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

Could you please change the self.context.stroke to self.context.fill in the Decimal Clock in future versions for nicer looking clock?

Keep up the good work!

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

I just uploaded version 0.4.0-0 to extras-devel.
New features in this version are:
- an alarm indicator, which shows whether an alarm is scheduled or not,
- a display which, in addition to the current time, displays the scheduled alarm time,
- the possibility to change the foreground color of the clocks,
- and an option to trigger whether stroke() or fill() should be used for painting.

Known "issues" of this version are, e.g,
- settings are still not stored,
- settings are still accessible via the status area menu only,
- the color selection dialog is not very "finger friendly" (as in optimized for a touch ui),
- the initial clock style may be random,
- and the alarm indicator was only tested for a single scheduled alarm.
Hence, currently, the behavior of the alarm indication is suspected to fail when more than one alarm is used.

If you want to use the new features in your own clocks simply look into the source files of the supplied clocks. ;)

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

The color picker wasn't behaving correctly for me.
Changing line 47 of clocks.py to divide by 255 worked for me:

self.context.set_source_rgb(self.color_r/255.0, self.color_g/255.0, self.color_b/255.0)

Re: [Announce] Advanced Clock Plugin

The new version works on my phone, thanks for a nice clock replacement! :)
However I have noticed that the color picker doesn't pick right colors, and it would be nice to have enable/disable button for alarm notification.
