Short: Digital clock w/ changeable digits
Author: smolensk@eunet.yu, smolenski@setnet.co.yu (Nikola Smolenski)
Uploader: smolensk@eunet.yu (Nikola Smolenski)
Version: 1.12
Type: util/time
CyberClock is a nice digital clock for WB. I made it because I HATE analog
clocks, and there is a whole lot of them, each prettier then the other. I
simply can't understand why would someone want to use such inaccurate method
of time displaying on a computer. And so I have tried to make digital clock
which would also be beautiful.
The only program with similar features I know of is TinyMeter, but it's much
more then just a clock, eats a lot of memory (not tiny at all!) and can only
use fonts for it's digits.
CyberClock uses IFF brushes for it's digits, leaving their look only to your
imagination. I gave my best to make it as small as possible (for example,
iff.library is used only when a picture is loading, and it could be flushed
from memory after CyberClock is started) and to use little CPU time (six
times less then original Amiga clock). I think you'll enjoy it!
History:
v1.12 - Fourth Aminet release
Bugfix: PowerSnap now works properly with CyberClock
New: 12/24hrs time display (requested by Andrew Clark)
v1.10 - Third Aminet release
Change: CLI arguments now work normally
Change: Code rewritten from scratch, again shorter and faster
Change: Added DONOTWAIT tooltype in icon
New: Info requester shown if digits brush cannot be opened
New: Support for screennotify.library . CyberClock closes/opens it's window
itself when Workbench screen is closed/opened. This works fine with FastIPrefs
and notifyintuition.library too.
v1.03 - Second Aminet release
Bugfix: Don't crashes system if told to use unexisting digits brush
Bugfix: Test CyberClock script now works properly
Change: Current day and date are now displayed in screen titlebar
Change: Some functions changed, shorter and faster code
v1.00 - Initial Aminet release
