So it is! I was forgetting that spaces come before letters when it sorts alphabetically. Still haven't gotten an email yet, though.

@All: Okay, advancedclockpluginsbinary is officially in extras-devel (although apparently it has been for the past six hours without my knowledge). It installs three clocks, but does not overwrite any of the existing ones. Please try it and let me know of any bugs! The forum may be faster than the bug tracker, I'm not quite sure I configured that right.

do u mean advanceclockpluginsbinary 0.1.0-1? coz i cant find Advanced Plugin Desktop Settings UI??

nice update, doesnt take up room in status menu and settings are saved...

thanks

I so love this clock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regarding the need to avoid name collisions, how about requiring that each clock be inside its own subfolder and/or zip/compressed file, with an specific format for the name, somthing like a fixed prefix like "ACP-Clock-" followed by the name of the creator and optionally the name of the custom clock and a version number?

Yeah, how does one find the Settings UI? I can't see it anywhere.

I second being able to select RGB hex values. It would be great if you had that option too. It looks like there's enough for the text bar with the rgb values right under the color boxes as they pop up right now.

*Shrug*

Also, Tiago-Tiago: I like that idea, but it feels impractical. Because one poorly named clock, or unstandardly named clock, would toss the system out. I think requiring a standard is about as equal as just asking people to not make conflicting names to begin with.

How do we resolve the issue of different themes having the same name in Maemo, or the same packages having the same name in repositories?

Oh, also, there is already an operator name applet. It's called literally that, "Custom Operator Name Applet". (It puts itself in the settings menu - there's another called "Custom Operator Name Widget" that you can put on your desktop to change the settings, if you don't like having it in Settings.)

The Settings UI isn't something you need to download. If everything's working it will install the settings for the applet that used to go into the status bar into the settings menu. You don't have to manually install anything. Just update Advanced Clock Plugin, and it should work. If it's not working, manually installing it might be only part of the solution, if at all needed.

i have update to the newest one but still nothing

I was able to update shortly after posting and the UI is now within the Settings menu.

You are looking in the System Settings app right? It should be there, under "Personalization".
