[Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Announcing 'Ring Clock', a colorful clock applet for the desktop with date display. Please install from the download section here. Different color for the hour, minute and seconds rings can be selected through the color panel, to match the desktop theme/background color scheme.

The applet also acts as a power launch for the Osso clock alarm UI. Double clicking on the applet launches the alarm utility, which otherwise is accessible only through a round about route from the Control panel..

And the usual screen shots:

Pretty, pretty, I like it a lot looking at those screenshots. I guess there's no N900/Maemo5 version (yet)?

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

not yet.. But I hope to make it work on Maemo5, soon..

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Sounds great, keep up the good work and good luck!

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Simply nice and improve!! WOOT!

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Very nice, now on my N810!

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Great :)

Will be waiting for the Maemo 5 version :)

Will you also make the option to show it as a "Default" clock?
(Like the one in Windows Vista/7 and Android?)

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

nice :-)

could you write a bit more about the colours, for us n900 users? is it user selectable or does the colour depend on the date/time (in other words slowly changing) or is it selected randomly (if so, does it change every day, second, month, year ?!).

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

What do you mean by "default" clock here? since I dont own a n900 ( not yet!), I am unable to understand this.. But going by how maemo works, all these applets made for the desktop can be enabled or disabled. So as and when I come up with a version for the Maemo5, you would possibly be able to enable/disable it to be displayed on the desktop.

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

The colors and font are user selectable, using the GtK color /font selection panel for the hours/minute and seconds.. it looks like this on the n810

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Its could be very cool its the ''second'' ring be fill up until 59 like minute...and at )), be re-empty for fill up again....

cause i think first you put just case-to-case for second for more precision...but if the ring be fill up every minute...i dont think we lost precision...

so maybe its be a good option for next relaese...second fill up like others ring

like tso said in svgclock thread...scalable be good too.

and maybe...crazy idea...make the applet flash by a color of your choice when the alrm trigger be on lol

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

I meant an regular analogue clock like this:


Analogue Clock 1
Analogue Clock 2

why does os2008 desktop almost look better than fremantle?? nice app, cant wait for fremantle version

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Thanks shin!

Sure wish you would set up an account to receive donations. :)

If you're planning on another release, two suggestions...

Again, a single click to bring up the alarm would be nice.

As it is right now, you need to double click it ridiculously fast, so fast in fact, that someone like my grandmother probably could never launch the alarm.

Lastly, there's the general, overall opacity that I wouldn't mind changing a bit since it looks like it puts a small bruise on the screen where the area is a little darkened.

But hey, thumbs up the way it already is! :D

If anyone has a good desktop wallpaper that goes well with this, mind sharing it with us?

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

like I mentioned in the other thread, I will try to have the seconds ring also fill up like the others rather than a single ticking segment that we have now.. I am also thinking of making this a user selectable option.. let me try for the next version..

the idea about applet flash when the alarm rings, sounds interesting, but I am just using the applet as a power launch and the alarm function itself is basically Nokia provided stuff. Based on what I have looked at earlier, I did not find any python bindings for the Alarm UI and this may be difficult to achieve in diablo. let me try..

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

can i have this on maemo 5... pls

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Addison - your desktop looks cool!

I am working on that single click as I mentioned earlier to differentiate between the applet drag and positioning.. I will also look into that transparency issue

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

+1 For N900 version (;

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

looks excellent, await N900 version with anticipation..

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

will come out with a version for the n900 soon..

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Looking forward to it! Looks nice on OS2008.

This looks very promising either :)

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Second person who has asked me. :)

After you click on the install button, go to the Application Manager and install Xmms and anything else extra you want for it like more skins.

For even more themes, head here.

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

unfortunately not for the N900 but looks like someone ported a similar app to the N900 :-)

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Hi shin.

I personally go by military time.

I don't have an idea on how to make that simple and easy enough to read for this clock.

If by chance you are able to think of something, would you mind considering such an implementation?

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

by military time, hope you mean a 24 hr clock.. It would look like this.. Reading the time may become a bit diifficult ( may be I am more used to a AM/PM style clock..)

I will get these ( including the seconds filling up ) as selectable options through glade and release a version..

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Nice!

Maybe you could put in some type of markings for easier understanding and reading.

Don't bother though if that would take too much of your time to code. :)

Re: [Announce] Ring Clock - A desktop clock applet
 

Quick line...
Where is it?
Best wishes.
