clocklet

Dependencies:

-------------

Python 2.6, at least

adesklets

General:

--------

clocklet is a configurable desktop widget for displaying the time, 

however you want.

I wrote it after seeing a few date/time widgets in different widget programs

that weren't quite up to what I expected. Hopefully it satisfies your needs.

Installation:

-------------

Simply run the program with python, i.e. "python clocklet.py", it will ask 

if you want to register or test the torrent. I recommend testing it first 

to make sure it does what you want. If it does, run it again and choose register.

Configuration:

--------------

Configuration is done via the config.txt file. Example configs are included in the 

example-configs folder. It's quite straight-forward in my opinion, but I'll do a 

rundown on the options.

alpha    - level of transparency, 0-255.

caps     - capitalise all text or not.

color    - the color you want your text to be.

displays - displays is a tuple of maps. The basic map layout is this:

   font     - the font to use for this specific display. Layout should be NAME/SIZE.

   format   - The text to display. E.g. "%M" will display minutes.

   x_pos    - X co-ord to display the above format text at. Can be either a string 

              or a hard coded number.

   y_pos    - same deal as x_pos, but for Y co-ord.

height   - height of the widget.

width    - width of the widget.
