Well, my beef with xclock is that, at least with the version that comes with X 4.2.99.3, there is no way of changing the colors of anything but the background when it's in analog mode. That means my clock has an ugly red hour hand, ugly teal(ish) minute hand, and ugly blue second hand. Also, in digital mode, as far as I can tell, there's no way to enter a line break, so it's little use in FvwmButtons. I did find a nice xbiff replacement, though. It's called asMail (designed for afterstep, but works anywhere). I just had to modify it's pixmaps a bit, then it became 48x48 ;) > | I was looking at using some WindowMaker DockApps instead, but they're > | all 64x64, while my buttons are 48x48, so they don't fit (and I'd rather > | not enlarge them because it puts too much whitespace around my buttons). > > I use wmflame and wmapm - they're 48x48...ish.
