[Applet] Yet another clock / calendar
#13271 by mosburger (1.0000) posted on 10:00am Friday, October 12th, 2007
In an effort to continue the proliferation of clocks and calendars on AWN docks everywhere, I have created my own clock/calendar that was inspired by the original NeXTstep dock's clock. Here's mine:
[Q]




(if you care, you can see a screenie of my "inspiration" here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:OPENSTEP_Dock.jpg)
[Q]



I blatantly ripped off ryancr's code from his "simple digital clock" applet to display a calendar when it's clicked.
[Q]



Here's the link to the .awn file (LATEST VERSION, UPDATED NOVEMBER 28 2007):
http://www.mediafire.com/?fzxxxtjm0e2
[Q]



It might be a little flakey still. I'm using set_temp_icon w/ the StringIO trick, and I know that is a suspected cause of disappearing applet syndrome for other applets out there. Oh - one more thing, it expects the "minisystem" font to be installed. I have no idea what will happen if it isn't installed on your system.
[Q]



Good luck!

You should take a look at how the gnome applet pulls info from Evolution. The only reason I even keep Evolution around is to subscribe the the gnome panel applet to Gcal as well. I use Thunderbird + Lightning and Provider to integrate Gcal with my workflow.

it should be red. I hope to add more user-customizable colors eventually.

I've observed the reflection being upside-down and the wrong color, though. It should correct itself at the next update -right now it updates every 5 seconds.

One idea would be to have the mouseover not just display the date but also the time.

Also sometimes it seems to take two clicks to get the evolution calendar to pop up. Anyone else getting this?

This is very cool. Is there a chance to have dates with appointments somehow marked, as in the clock on the gnome panel? Ideally, also with a quick way to see what the appointment is about, without having to open evolution? I've been waiting for this! :-)

Sorry for the lack of feedback. I'm all for Evolution support. I see how people want to synchronize their calendars across machines, but I'm not going to give, on top of everything else, my time/calendar to Google, and I think it's great if you have at least the option to do things locally. :-)

As for the crashes: I also get them. And I got the impression that the calendar always crashes the first one or two times I start the bar after having recompiled. After that, it seems to be rather stable.

It's a little on the flakey side connectivity wise, but I don't know if that's my code, or my provider. I've been reading up on Python with SSL logins, and it seems that Microsoft Proxy Servers aren't very well behaved (go figure).

great job mosburger, i started using you applet and it works all fine.
But i hava one remark, everytime you click you update the calendar and if you're using Google calendar and having a rather bad internet connection (like at school) it takes a while before the applet is shown.
Couldn't you just save the data in some kind of file and when clicking the applet the output is generated based on the file and then you start updating. If anything changed the output is being updated as well as the file. This way you should lose the slow down effect. Maybe?

It's using gnomevfs to determine the default application for the text/html mimetype, so if gnome thinks your browser is something other than firefox, it *should* use it.
[Q]



As for the caching data so you don't have slow clicks, yeah... I'm planning on that. I was hoping to get more calendars integrated first, then work on caching it so it doesn't act so sluggish. It should also help with the flakiness w/ MS proxy servers.

Now with full Evolution integration! Now the clock/calendar applet can display today's appointments that are in your local Evo calendars.
[Q]



To include Evolution support, I created a generic ICS handler, so integrating other calendar applications that follow the open ICS standard should be pretty easy. Unfortunately, Sunbird appears to keep its calendars in a weird SQLLite format by default, but allows you to publish or export to ICS. So adding Sunbird support might be a little clumsy.

The set_temp_icon-induced crashing flakiness is still there.

Here's the latest version... enjoy!

Question? Is it possible to have upcoming events in bold?
Like if you have an appointment at the Oct 28, then it should be great if it showed up as bold in the calendar.

Also when I click open in evolution it does open the evo cal, but... also a browser page file:///exchange/calendar/%3FCmd=contents

Other thing. Is it possible to have the option to change the background colour of the clock, it's a bit dark, hard to see the digit, since the digits are black and the BG is dark as well.

It's a great applet but I discovered that even if unused, the applet sucks many cpu resources.... when I add clock/calendar to my AWN, python jumps at the first place of the "top" list ... If I remove it, python goes bask in the "top" list...
why this applet is so heavy??!!
[Q]



P.S. my CPU is an AMD Turion 64x2, 1600Mhz for core... it's not an old CPU...

Making the graphics more customizable is one of the next things I plan on doing.

I think I know what's causing the CPU issue... I'll try to fix it...

New version - you can now customize the appearance of the icon a *lot* more, including the calendar color and the appearance of the clock. I also think I've reduced the CPU consumption somewhat.

Great to be able to customize the clock/calendar :)
But I still have this issue.
