Thanks for the applet, I like it very much. Now I have changed a little bit to the code, because I like it this way much more. I will just post the python source here, but the way I did it is hackish. I just wanted it to work in a minimal of time. So I'm posting it, because other can look to it and see how it is possible to customize it.

Hey, thats how I was originally trying to do it but it kept getting cut off, now I see what I was doing wrong, thanks.

Updated.

Damn ryancr! I can't keep up with the updates ;)

I'm loving this project, dude. The calendar is sweet.

Thanks.

Any idea why I'm seeing this error when I try to open the Preferences dialog?

Well I am getting the location of the glade file based on the current working directory using os.getcwd()

Maybe if you could toss a 'print os.getcwd()' in the init of desktopClock.py we could see if yours is different. If so I may have to take another approach.

I think that might be one of the "oddities" moonbeam was referring to. I notice it as well...plus I've had the entire applet glitch on me.

Yeah it very well could be, hopefully Neil gets that other method working for python applets, then we should be all good.

Ryanrc theres some strange problem i cant change the clock to 24 hour i can only se 12 hours not 24 any where :| its just in pm format straight away

There should be a check box for 12 hour clock in the preferences window. If its checked its set to 12 hour clock, if not, its a 24 hour clock.

benzons said:
Minor bug tho

Yeah just noticed this as well, I'll fix it this evening.

Thanks for this great applet, ryancr!

An option to display it like this would be really nice. With a bar height of 30 it is hard to read all packed into one column.

Updated.

Setting in preferences to set the Time beside the date.

12 hour check box bug fixed.

Nice, I really like the latest version. Though, mine seems to be cut off the SLIGHTEST bit. Any ideas?

hmm, ok I guess I'll have to scale down the font just a bit more.

What font are you using?
What is your dock size?

ryancr said:

The thing is, it is UNNECESSARILY cut off. For example when it squishes, it doesn't get cut off any more; it expands just fine (but it still cut off as much as it normally is). So nothing actually needs to be any smaller, it just needs to not be cut off. Does that make any sense? I tried to get a screen shot of it bouncing but it always stops bouncing when I do it.

Or, maybe I don't understand and all applets are like this and it isn't space available to use.

The font is the default Sans (I think that was the default?) and my bar height is 32.

By the way, would it be possible to have an option to disable the shadow? Actually I think it just makes it harder to read in the case of tiny docks.

Have you downloaded the latest one, I only ask as Mediafire says there has been 0 downloads of it.

I am working on setting the alpha of the shadow, so when thats done you could turn the alpha to 0 and it would make it go away.

I went into the code and played around a bit...pretty good stuff have a look:

Isaac or anyone else know what font your clock is using?

isaac_j87 said:
It is called "Purisa"

Haha yeah isn't this font sweet? I used it for a class handout just last week! Not sure how the professor felt :)

I'm sorry to ask because it's so off topic~ but where did you find that trash icon? I am so bored of mine and would love something a little more realistic.

It's the OSX trash can...

OSX @ gnome-look.org

c.atterly said:
Nice, it is much closer but still cut off by I think 1 pixel on either side for me:

Arrg, ok maybe I just need to make the applet a bit wider all together.

Does the Date beside Time setting work better for you?

Unfortunately, I do not think I can sacrifice 11% of my memory or more to this applet and I will have to stop using it. Is this supposed to happen, or is there a memory leak or bug or something?

no... that would be a leak somewhere. out of curiosity how long do you need to run it before you see this result?

Could you also file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/awn-extras/

Try to include details about distribution, version etc, and a estimate of how long it takes to get to that amount of memory consumption.

Thanks,

Ok, I have made a few changes let me know if this works for you python 2.4 guys.

Next time you make changes (we know you're busy) can you please add a license header to the applet?
