- WELCOME to NIGHTCLOCK v1.10
- ------------------
- NightClock is a small program, designed for people that use their Epoc
- device as an alarm clock during the night, and simply want an easy way
- to turn the machine on and instantly have a "backlighted" glance at the
- time, through a big analog or digital clock.
-
- WHAT'S NEW
- ------------------
- v 1.10 * new multi-page Setup window
- * new choice for a full screen digital clock
- * added an option to automatically disable the Password and Owner
- Information screen each time NightClock is launched (and to restore
- them on exit)
- v 1.01 * fixed a bug when restoring default settings (screen wasn't refreshed)
- * adapted the code to use external resource files for each language
- * if width and height of the selected wallpaper file are smaller than 1/3
- of the screen dimensions, it will be automatically tiled to fill the screen
-
- INSTALLING NIGHTCLOCK
- ------------------
- 1. Unzip NightClock.zip and put NightClock.sis, nMPD.sis and Systinfo.sis
- to any folder of your Epoc device or your PC.
- 2. To install the program simply launch the three .sis files and select the
- language and destination disk.
- 3. NightClock should now appear in your "Extras bar".
- 4. Also included in NightClock.zip is a wallpaper.mbm file to be used as
- a sample (it's my bike...) for the wallpaper option of the program (copy
- it to your machine and see the Help for more details on how to set it).
-
- UNINSTALLING NIGHTCLOCK
- ------------------
- If you need to uninstall NightClock, use the Add/remove option from
- Control Panel.
-
- KNOWN ISSUES (PLEASE READ...)
- ------------------
- 1. The machine Password and Owner Information screen must be switched
- off for NightClock to work: you can do it manually (open the Control
- Panel of your Epoc device, choose Password and select <Never> for
- "Display owner information") or select the appropriate page in the
- Setup window of the program (an option is available so that each time
- you launch the program, it disables these features; when you exit
- NightClock, it will restore them to the original settings)
- 2. Note that the above restoring feature only works if you close NightClock
- from within the program: if the program is closed from System (e.g.
- during a backup with PsiWin), it won't restore them to their original
- values.
- 3. If an Alarm has been set and falls into the "Night Period", you won't
- miss it: it will override the NightClock start-up display (note that if you
- select the Turn Off machine function, the alarm will start to sound, then
- the machine will be turned off by NightClock, and then again the alarm
- will come back in a few seconds...).
- 4. Remember that each time an Alarm overrides NightClock, you have
- to call it to foreground and then send it to background again, otherwise
- it won't work at the following switching on.
- 5. Users of CronTab by Pascal Nicolas (or of any other program that
- performs some tasks at each switch on) try to do some test to prevent
- any conflict with NightClock: as a general rule do not select the option
- of turning off the machine when hiding (as this can stop the tasks
- performed by the other programs).
