PupClockset doesn't appear to support Mick's latest Slacko 5.3.0.1 which I believe is the latest JWM.

Jim

Hi Jim,

I downloaded the slacko-5.3-MAIN.iso and applied the slacko-5.3.0.1-MAIN.iso.delta to create the slacko-5.3.0.1-MAIN.iso.

I tested this new slacko iso with PupClockset-1.6.3, and changing the jwm panel clock works perfectly on my system.

What happens if you run PupClockset in a terminal? Any unusual error messages?

Sorry for the late reply, the attached image shows the results. The Alert "PupClockset does not support this clock and/or desktop envirionment." appears when GUI is changed to jwm to try to set time. I used a fresh, manual installation on an ext4 partition with a new 4fs save file with all of your apps added plus my other regulars that have worked fine before.

Regards,
Jim

Hi Jim,
Could you check the contents of /etc/windowmanager.

PupClockset evaluates the contents of /etc/windowmanager on-the-fly, and that entry must accurately reflect the current window manager (jwm in this case). If jwm is your current window manager in Slacko, please confirm that "jwm" is the entry in /etc/windowmanager, then launch PupClockset again.

Thanks

Hi Roger,

There is no such directory apparently since JWM is the only WM.

Incidently, I had problems with Shutdown and PupShutdown using shinobar's pup saveconfig and a 4fs save file. However using the normal first shutdown I tried a 3fs save file and both worked properly. Problem with PupClockset exists with both save files.

Regards,
Jim

Jim,

"windowmanager" is a file in the /etc folder. If you load the file in a text editor, it should have 'jwm' as the lone entry.

Thanks

It has only the entry "jwm".

Hi Jim,

I've retested PupClockset-1.6.3 in Slacko-5.3.0.1 (three separate installs - live CD, 3fs and 4fs save files).

I can't duplicate the problem you describe. On my system, PupClockset works just fine in Slacko.

1 - Please confirm there is no "windowmanger" file in /root/Choices/ (i.e. /root/Choices/windowmanager should not exist).

2 - Possibly, your current copy of PupClockset is corrupt. You may want to download a fresh copy and reinstall.

Hi Roger,

The problem was my copy of PupClockset. It works after uninstalling with ppm and reinstalling with a new copy.

Sorry, I wasted your time due to a corrupt download.

Regards,
Jim

Hi radky.
Thank you for this pet. It‘s realy handy.
Just downloaded version 1.6.3 into slacko 5.3.1. and would like to bolden the the fonts and colour them. Is there any way to do that ?
Ulrich
Hi Ulrich,

Most panels support strftime specifiers for the display of time and date, but support for the Pango Markup Language determines the panel's ability to change the clock's font attributes - such as the font size, weight (boldness) and style (normal or italics).

Some panels, such as fbpanel and tint2, support the variable display of font attributes, but other window manager or panels (such as JWM in Slacko) have little support for specifically changing the clock font.

In the default Slacko window manager (JWM), there are options in /.jwm/jwmrc-theme for changing attributes of the TrayStyle (font size and color of the foreground/background). This will change the clock font, but other fonts in the tray (panel) will also change.

Thanks for your question. :)

I prefer to have my panel (fbpanel, in this case) on the left side rather than along the bottom.
None of the available extended formats work well for this; they are just truncated.

On some systems, I am able to to write my own layout, including line-breaks, so the date can be better presented in a narrow vertical column.

For example, I might specify
"~%R;%S~\n%d %b %Y \n %A "

~23:30;17~

The current PupClockset does not appear to cater for fitting to a side-panel.

Hi Alex-atian,

I agree, a multi-line display of the Fbpanel clock could be very useful for horizontal and vertical panels.

I'll see what I can do in the next release of PupClockset.

BTW, Fbpanel renders your example as expected if the newline code "\n" is changed to "%n". :)

Thanks
