Re: System clock in FVWM: A new discovery!
Tethys wrote: Happy with xdaliclock in conjunction with fvwm since ages Yep. I discovered xdaliclock some time in the early '90s, and have been using it ever since. If it's not broken, why fix it? Yeah, xdaliclock is nice. Note that you can make it use whatever font you have available, including TrueType and what have you. When I was first introduced to Fvwm (as an unofficial IRIX port custom- compiled for the SGI Indy) the configuration I started out with (copied from the person who had compiled Fvwm for IRIX in the first place) had xdaliclock in FvwmButtons. It wasn't until later that I discovered the xticktalk I mentioned earlier and managed to build that on IRIX. There's a whole bunch of desktop clock applications out there, though. Some are simple, some are fancy. Some are straightforward, others are really original. There are even binary clocks and everything. Whatever you can think of, it's probably out there somewhere.

I've been using dclock since forever: Happy with xdaliclock in conjunction with fvwm since ages, account here I use my own :-) Back in the late nineties I liked xticktalk, which was kind of a speaking clock: it displayed the time in natural language (e.g. Ten past four PM) and supported several languages besides English. Unfortunately xticktalk appears to have been abandoned now; at least I can't find it anywhere. So I resorted to writing my own from scratch. When I'm happy with it, I'll release it into the wild, hoping that others are willing to contribute support for their native languages.

Re: FVWM: SGI IRIX 3.3 theme for fvwm

There are a few already but I've been trying to combine the best parts of those and further refine the result. And maybe 5.3 isn't quite like 3.3, but I'd be happy to exchange ideas if you're interested. AvW P.S. Unfortunately I no longer own any pizzaboxes (Indys) so I'm pretty much working from memory and screenshots. -- Imbibo, ergo sum. pgp03K5xfoDv3.pgp Description: PGP signature
