~UPD~ Download Desktop Clock Widget
Artemisia Grieves
For your questions: Live tiles only work on Start not the desktop. I cannot find any reason to believe that Rainmeter skins would pose a security risk. And Rainmeter has been very reliable on Win10. I have delayed some updates but the small development team is very good about releasing working products (probably better testing than a well known Redmond WA company).
I just installed OS Sonoma. Was prompted to add a widget to my desktop, so I tried the world clock. However I am trying to edit the three cities that are standard. I tried many methods, but it just gives me Cupertino, Tokyo, Sydney.
This is kind of stupid but for whatever reason I cannot get my digital clock widget to work. I just shows invisible like its there but just a black space where it is. If I right click on it I get the menu for it. I tried deleting it and readding it but no go. Any ideas?
Yea I already checked that. When I right clock on the widget it always says 12:00 am. so fo whatever reason its not seeing the time. I wonder if this has anything to do with all the other icon/widget issues people are having with kde 4.2?
Hello, I just transitioned to Ubuntu MATE from Windows, so I beg your patience with me! I am looking for an easy to install transparent analog clock that I can add to my desktop. Is there any such app available? If not could someone tell me how to install one via the terminal? Many Thanks!
Thanks Pavlos! I've looked at it but would really like something subtle that blends in with the desktop image background. It's been hard to find one that has that look. Would welcome any other recommendations.
Keeping with the theme, Divoom has deliberately pixelated the interface of each of these 128128 pixel LCD screens. The digital clock has an expanded sense of realism as you can put up all your favorite assistants and dials in your peripheral view. Things like weather updates, calendars, reminders, stock market updates, social media followers, music player control and countless more. The desk clock interface can be customized via the companion app which also gives the liberty to create custom texts and animated graphics to reflect your mood.
So all you Fluttershy fans out there will probably enjoy this here clock! The actual clock itself is 5500 x 5500 pixels, so it was a bit difficult to work with but it turned out quite nice, at least I think so. The arms are a bit out of sync but it's very difficult to keep them inline considering they aren't just sticks like the default ones!
Inside the "Clock.Gadget folder there are two file folders (en-US) and (images). Considering the easiest way to send this clock to people was just to legit copy my folders and tell others to basically replace these folders with mine. But it's much easier said than done, you have to make these folders owned by you to edit them (delete/replace them) so if you right click on them you'll see properties and inside there is security, you basically have to make your user have control of the folders and the content of the folders.
So, if you'd like to try to get this clock on your computer, do so at your own risk, I don't want to be at fault for anyone screwing up their computer (which is not likely, but you never know what people will do and throw at the creator's face).
Here's the download consisting of both of my custom clocks, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy (as always I reccommend that you save copies of the original folders somewhere on your computer just in case you want to revert back to them for whatever reason)
It took forever and a half to figure out how to get it to work, but it was well worth it. Nice clock design! I like how Fluttershy is facing forward, so that the positions of the clock hands are never too unnatural looking.
In the .ZIP file your downloaded there were two separate files, the "en-US" folder and the "images" folder. Inside the "en_US" folder is the locations for where the hands center around. My first question is, did you apply the "en_US" file to your computer? If so, I'm a bit pondered on why your clock arms are drastically out of place considering I modified the location point of the arms myself for best location.
I know for certain that the clock arms are a bit off on some points but most of the time it's pretty right on, if you did apply the "en_US" file to your computer it should be fairly in ballpark range of the best locations for the arms. Since the arms aren't sticks like the default clocks, they were a bit harder to fondle.
I love it! Fluttershy is brilliant and adorable! Those art skills, flutter and a clock combined! If only I had my own desktop...i mean I have a family one, but it's not like I can put that on there. Ahh well, still amazing!
I got rid of the previous "en_US" and "images" folders, then copied and pasted the folders I got from your download. If it means anything, the downloaded folders now have two locations: inside the original zip folder that I downloaded into a folder in my pictures library; and in the "clock.gadget" folder. I looked in the "en_US" folder and looked at both "css" and "js". I didn't try opening the files in "js" (java script items entitled "clock", "settings", and "time zones"), since I got a pop-up asking if I really wanted to and I generally have no idea what I'm doing. The "css" folder, though, contained two notepad documents, both with the message "this code is not approved for use in/on any other UI element or product component". The "clock" notepad file also says "body width: 130px; height: 130px; margin: 0px; " and the "settings" file also says "body width: 278px; height: 355px; font-family: 'segoe UI', Tahoma, Sans-serif; margin: 0px; #settingsButtonTable font-size: 12px; #CurrentIndex width: 15px; text-align: center; #maxIndex width: 15px; text-align: center; a color:#0066cc; text-decoration: none; a: hover color:#3399ff; text-decoration: underline; ". In "en_US" there were also three other items, two that have the google chrome logo for an icon and are entitled "clock" and "settings" and a third with an icon that looks like a piece of paper with a world in a set of < >'s entitled "gadget". The "clock" icon opens a blank chrome page, "settings" opens a chrome page with an image of the clock settings command box except the arrows for scrolling through clock appearances are broken jpegs, and "gadget" opens up an internet explorer page with the following text:
I wanted to take the time today to show you how to build a clock widget by using Windows PowerShell. Although we use Windows PowerShell daily to perform great feats of strength in our environments and to provide amazing reports to our managers (among other things), sometimes it is just nice to kick back and make something fun. In this case, the fun thing that I will show you how to build is a clock widget!
Building a GUI can be a little time tedious because it usually means writing code to build out the front-end GUI and then more code to connect to controls, handle events, and perform various tasks. But fear not! All it takes is a little bit of time and you can knock this widget out! Plus, there are a variety of tools that can help make the process much simpler depending on your choice of GUI (such as Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and WinForms).
There is a lot happening here, but what I am doing is creating a runspace by using the [RunspaceFactory] static method, which will be used to run this clock widget outside of the Windows PowerShell console. The console still needs to be running, otherwise it will close the widget. This means that I can still use the console without it being tied down to handle the GUI.
