[Announce] ProximityClock
 

Hello,

I've just released a first version of ProximityClock.
ProximityClock is a simple application that basically shows a fullscreen digital clock when you "close" the proximity sensor. The application can be enabled/disabled through an home widget.

Feeedback/comments are more than welcome ;)
P.S. : this is my first qt app :D

Latest Version: 0.3

Best Regards,
Daniele Maio.

How would I typically use ProximityClock? I mean, I know how to activate it, but why?

Re: [Announce] ProximityClock
 

interesting, you should something so the clock doesnt stay there the whole time like 3 sec timeframe or so.

Re: [Announce] ProximityClock
 

any screenshots ? and how do you close the proximity sensor ?

Re: [Announce] ProximityClock
 

The current timeout is set to one minute, maybe having it configurable would be better.

I usually use it during the night, sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and trying to see the time in a wristwatch is a bit harder....with ProximityClock I can simply pass my hand over my N900 and it show me a big clock simpler to understand ;)

Re: [Announce] ProximityClock
 

I didn't take any screenshot because they are useless. The app is simply composed by an home widget (that is a button with an icon) and a fullscreen digital clock.
Maybe I can make a video that would be more useful.
You can "close" the proximity sensor by passing your finger over it. The proximity sensor is place just under the front camera (top left corner).

I decided to try it out today, i found it pretty useful generally. But the default time out period is somewhat long IMO, i mean is it meant for checking the clock and immediately disappear, or it's a persistent clock?

24 hours/12hours choice would be a nice addition as well. But great work nonetheless :)

Here some screenshots if you don't mind:

Would it be possible to have the options in settings menu instead of the widget?

Re: [Announce] ProximityClock
 

tried this app, didnt appeal to me, removed it. if i had my finger etc over proximity, the phone would constantly vibe. reboot fixed this problem.

Hey Chrome, your screen shot shows nice icon backgrounds; what theme are you using?
