I tried to change clocks, change font, change color, almost anything, even turned off the phone and turned on again, but still, it did not show up.
Do I need somthing else beside the package?

Well, apparently I didn't include all necessary dependencies.
You should not need to restart nor to install anything else except Advanced Clock Plugin.
If you need to do anything special to get it work it's most likely that I messed something up.

I just uploaded version 0.11.1 to extras-devel.
Could all who had problems with the clock being "hidden" so far try if this fixes the issue?
If you still encounter problems try running (as root):

Code:

DEBUG_OUTPUT=1 /usr/bin/hildon-status-menu

This should provide more meaningful output of whats going wrong or is missing.
By the way, if you run the command as written above you need to manually kill the running process via CTRL-C.

I added a "No Clock" style to 0.11.1 which simply disables the clock display.
The implementation side is very much straight forward.

@Mentalist Traceur
Nice to see you got your first clock up and running.

Edit:
I'd also like to explicitly mention a special clock style I added some versions ago.
This is a binary clock which indicates the alarm time by drawing the circle outline of the alarm time in a distinct color.
Currently, this is only implemented for the binary clock.
If you like I could add something similar for the BcdClock.
