OK Folks, another updated version for you (0.36):

2009/07/25 = version 0.36
- add 'info' (text only) mode
- add 'full window', 'clock', and 'gps' toggle buttons
- add 'grid' option
- add ability to graphically set/reset current latitude/longitude location
- change 'circle' mode to 'sphere' mode (to allow 'C' option for 'clock' mode)
- fix bug in 'lock' GPS option
- fix bug in terminator (shadow) plot in 'earth' mode

You need to check the 'README' file for the gory details of the new/changed stuff...

The package is quite a bit larger, since the Python code is now about 3000 lines (up 20%), but the main reason is that there are some larger PNG pics of the earth and moon for the new 'full' window mode.

I learned how to better handle 'toggling' buttons from my latest changes to 'MOrrery', and implemented them now in 'MChronos'. The active buttons now are hilighted in green, so that you know when toggle/mode buttons are set.

Yes, slick204, I did fix (I hope) the GPS 'lock' mode, and I also created a 'gps' toggle button. Please test that feature, since you inquired about it. I also created an 'info' mode (text only) that includes 'twilight' times. If you turn text mode off while on this display, you see nothing at all

NOTE: You must be *patient* when clicking the virtual 'buttons' on the app. Give it time to respond, and if it does not, *then* try clicking it again. Sorry for the 'slow' behavior, but there are a lot of calculations being made

I would also appreciate it if anyone confirming success from installing (and running) the app from 'extras-devel' would let me know, so I can promote it to 'extras'.

P.S. My 'software' page has some updated screen shots.
