mClock 0.2.0 - First beta release
 

(Make sure to have Python/PyMaemo installed first!)

I've updated my clock application for the Nokia N800 (maemo) and transitioned from alpha to beta release... The app now includes a more efficient algorithm when running in full-screen mode (big clock), so that the screen is only updated once per minute. World map with day/night gets updated every two minutes to keep accuracy.

Upon program load, the current season is calculated and the appropriate season background is loaded. You can also use D-Pad left/right to manually flip through the season backgrounds.

Finally, I've added a power-waste mode to keep the device display turned on. D-Pad up activates this, and displays a red battery icon to warn you of the consequences... Unfortunately, this function might or might not work on your device: I had BIG problems with the osso.context and the D-BUS, and it doesn't work on my device right now - however, it SHOULD :-) Glad for any feedback/fix from a more advanced developer!

You can download the .deb right here (mclock-0.2.0.all.deb)

I like it very much, but can't find a way of closing the app, apart from a rude killall.

I don't know if that background has anything to do with my original request for it in some other thread but : AWESOME! Thank you!

Just use the ESC key, that should work! (the left-rotating arrow button right below the D-Pad, the topmost of the "navigation pad" or whatever that is)

Terrific little clock app. Thanks. I installed it on the 2007HE and it works great.

Doesn't show up in the taskbar though. As for the 'always-on' mode I could have sworn it worked the first time but hasn't since.

Really nice application but I found a little bug, it does not display correctly the accents, i.e in Spanish Saturday is Sábado and when the app tries to display Sáb instead of it I get sáb :)

Hope you can fix it soon :)

But anyway congratulations!

PD: show when the next alarm will ring could be nice :)

Fan-freakin-tastic!! Thank You Thank You

1. What is the little yellow dot for?

2. Any way to opt for a 12 hr clock instead of 24 hr?

Other than that this is fantastic!
