pClock 0.8.2 - Time tools
further features with pclock
Further features with pclock:
Pclock needs a simple interface.
However there is one possible new feature that might
make sense in an app like this.
An example : A user selects 5 cities around the world
and the software automatically updates the time
temperature and weather
pclock could do this in one simple window without being too messy.
It would be a lot of work for you to do this but I think you've
done something like this already for the stardust interface.

Re: further features with pclock
A world clock is a good idea. I personally think that temp/weather is working well in Pwidgets. - Again, I might be wrongdon570 wrote:Further features with pclock:

I will add this to the todo list, but with no promise when it will be done.

This is a proper posting for people to download.
Make sure you install pschedule 2.0.2 as well.
Edit: change pschedule 2.0.2 to pschedule 1.0.2

Since you have done so much work to build pClock the way you want it, I think you should fork it, and give it a unique name. - We agree on many things, but not how pClock should look.
Since I don't want to adopt your work in the next pClock release, you should offer it as an alternative to the kennel. Maybe most of the users like your version, and they won't find it when I release pClock-0.4 without your tweaks.

new Puppy Clock
I renamed pclock0.3.5 to Puppy Clock
and made a couple of small changes to
the way it is localized.
I won't be improving it anymore but I'd
like people to contribute to the translations.

Hello don570,
i have also downloaded pClock-0.3.5 and i must say: many of the german translations are like it is been done by a word-by-word-translation-robot - or something else like that.
I would like to make a new translation, if there is nobody else, who has started already with this.
So, let me know, what to do.

pmusic -s stop
With the Enlightenment window manager it is hard to stop pmusic
when it is playing in the background. For instance in pemasu's
exprimo pmusic plays in a loop as default
I must use the command
If pmusic can't be fixed then maybe pclock should have a
button to run this command.

Here is how I was able to make pclock compatible with Saluki
1) I checked if pmusic is installed and switched
to defaultaudioplayer if pmusic wasn't installed
2) I changed line 28 to
(Does saluki have a different version of bash??)
3) To get the preference window to open I did the
following change in code. I took the following
and changed it to
FONTSIZE doesn't work but at least the app can be used.

![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
line 106 seemed to be trouble, I had no $WORKDIR/end_while_fullscreen and no pretty clock, so removed ! (not) and it worked! But of course that broke everything! So I put it back and it was all good, so something is not generated at first start

480 pixel height screen
Have you checked that pclock fits in 480 pixel height screen?
It's over 500 dots when I checked.

If you're looking to develop pclock into a more useful app....
What about a database of the world cities. The user chooses a city
and clicks to find weather or news (according to button label)
Instead of doing it in realtime which could overload computer,
I would suggest having a database array . Each city could have a
maximum of 4 input values associated with it.
1) For News ----> English language website
2) For News ----> Foreign language website
3) For Weather ----> English language website
4) For Weather ----> Foreign language website
It wouldn't be too hard to maintain such a database.
For instance New York city has two big all news radio stations
http://www.wabcradio.com/
http://newyork.cbslocal.com/
I could supply you with North American websites (mainly local radio
stations specialising in news). The user could make his own changes
to the database and send the database back to you to look at.
Here's a mock-up.
