[For testing] queen beecon widget: harmattan-clock on extras-devel
 

This is second debian packed Queen-Beecon-widget. It is harmattan-clock which you can see on:
http://www.4shared.com/photo/GPntGra...rait_v110.html

Procedure for making widget deb is: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1182499

Package name is qbw-harmattan-clock

Re: [For testing] queen beecon widget: harmattan-clock on extras-devel
 

nice ideea, easier for people who don't have the time and patience to make their own widgets.
u should put deb file also.
Q: u can make a clock using this solution who can fill up all screen ( wich allow the phone to be used as digital clock - hope u undestand )?
also, the clock is shown on all desktops, or u can choose?

i like the qbw date and time...it's perfect...harmattan-ish...
i only got 1 problem...can we make the time to 24 hours...tq

Deb can be downloaded from package-view: http://maemo.org/packages/view/qbw-harmattan-clock/
But I think using repository is the most easiest way.

My third test was multidesktop releasing (=widget goes to the every desktop): http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1182504

On Debian there is goal to not ask anything during installation and I think Maemo should use the same approach. So, package maker chooses some sane defaults and then user has two options:
a) fetch the sourcepackage + modify + repack + install
or
b) install it as-it + tune it via configuration files and tools

And there will be values that package maker must choose and they will not fit for every user (If I read http://wiki.maemo.org/Queen_BeeCon_W...ipts_please.3F correctly, this is one reason nobody have done this before):
*coordinates for widget
*single desktop (which one?) / every desktop
*(values for widget itself, e.g. 12h/24h clock)


I'm not yet very good for making (or tune) widgets, but after installing you can get widget's settings visible and then you can find Command (under Advanced) which it is using.
Something like this:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Queen_BeeCon_W...ings_and_Tools

Search %I and change it to the %H and remove %p entirely.

(This moment I can't give better answer)

Thanks! How instead of PM to add display of seconds???

Re: [For testing] queen beecon widget: harmattan-clock on extras-devel
 

Use %S. I don't know is it refressed in every second.

It is using command 'date' so use 'man date' (On Linux or google)

Re: [For testing] queen beecon widget: harmattan-clock on extras-devel
 

Thank you very much! Works! In widget, in section Update Policies I have exposed @Interval ---> Custom (Secs) ---> 1 second. Perfectly works!!!
One more question: In widget Harmattan Date very much I want that day of week was displayed in Russian instead of English. How it can be made???

It can be the same problem, that we had with clock replacement (ade project):

Re: [For testing] queen beecon widget: harmattan-clock on extras-devel
 

when I read back a couple of posts, it looks like a different issue.

If it uses the 'date' command, you could install coreutils-gnu. This provides 'gdate', (which is gnu date) and uses localization. I use this for my own qbw clock displaying date info in dutch. It may cost a little tweaking to get the exact display you want.

With the help coreutils-gnu day of week began to be displayed in Russian! ade, many thanks for the help!
