Typed something else, posted, saw your "I was just kidding reply", and decided that everything I said was unnecessarily hostile.

I'll leave it here because I am a fan of openness and honesty, but keep in mind your "I'm just kidding thing" made me take back all of it.

MAYBE LIKE THIS???
Hmmm... Not quite large enough. Try to mix in the bold tag.

I wanna have my icons style not yours!
Yes. If you had understood my sentences properly, you would've realized that that's going to be an option eventually too. (Because the only difference is a custom theme either overrides the normal icon, or puts the custom icons somewhere else predictable. And because of that, we can set up the clock.py script to check for a file at one location, then check for it at another location, and so on, with the stock system one being the 'fallback'. It'll take a while, but I'm sure it will get done.

thanks...
You're welcome.

i cant remove that icon becouse is builded in the binary elf???
Binary... elf? Ummm... Binary...
Either you're talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executa...inkable_Format or you're referring to elves, composed in some way out of binary...something.

You can 'remove' the icon in three ways:
1. Uninstall the plugin. Then you can stare at your non-customizable clock and marvel at how much less you'd have on your N900 if people didn't go out of their way to put their spare time into writing free useful things.
2. By unchecking the "Show Alarm Indicator" in the settings. Yes, it won't show if you have an alarm enabled next to your clock, but if the red dot bothers you so much, there you go.
3. Figuring out the from_png/matrix stuff for Cairo, and EDITING THE clock.py file. It's not a binary. As is written in the original post, this is written in Python. Python, while it CAN be compiled, usually runs uncompliled. Which means you can edit the files you need to change, restart the program if you have it running.

So yeah. Either one of those three, or you wait until someone else does it.
Anyway, onto your latest post.

The actual code as is doesn't use any picture file. It uses Cairo to just draw a red circle (or any other shape or color if you mess with the code enough). (See posts on the last few pages to see some details.)

I don't personally remember off the top of my head where system and theme overriding icons go, I listed on the last page where the system alarm indicator icon is stored, and I just don't know where the theme icons go. But it shouldn't be too hard to figure out that part (it's gotta be documented somewhere), once I/someone else implements the actual "use this picture here" part of the code.
