- Short: Nice lookking clock v1.2, c and asm version
-
- ****************************************************************************
-
- TolleUhr Version 1.11 Authors: Matthias Fleischer 1993
- Gunther Nikl 1994
-
- Note: There is a problem I cannot figure out. When a new minute
- has to be drawn the system seems to hang for a moment. Best
- to see if you play MegaBall or Ladder ( great game! ). There
- you can notice that play things stop moveing a moment. This
- happens with the c and assembler version. Who can help ??
-
- ****************************************************************************
-
- I looked for a nice clock to use with the workbench. Then there came
- TolleUhr and it was really a 'tolle' clock (at least for me)! But one
- thing I didn´t like these ugly menus with kick3.0+. The original author
- placed this program in the public domain so here is a slightly changed
- version. Nothing fundamental has been changed.
- Furthermore you can find an assembler version of 'TolleUhr'. This
- version is localized ( currently only german ;) ), has newlookmenus and
- is pure, you can make it resident. The other main difference is the fact
- that all windows are controled in the main loop. That means the second
- hand moves even if you display the about requester, change a colour or
- set the alarm time. All windows will be discarded if you close the main
- window. One menu option has been added: 'Close Gadget'. When I played
- with the original program I often closed the clock trying to move the
- window on the screen. With this menu entry you can enable/disable the
- close gadget. Old configurations can be used with the assembler version.
- The other way requires some editing in the tooltypes. The assembler
- version saves PATTERN and DRAWPENS with a leading '0x' instead of
- only 'x'. So remove the zero before the x and it works.
- The compiled programs can be found in the c drawer. Enjoy!

- This is yet another Workbench-Clock-Utility ???!!?! :-(
-
- OK, but this one looks really nice ;-) (try it out - if you don't like it -
- throw it away (or let it still stay on harddisk: only 20K anyway))
-
- The functionality in short:
- -Nice outfit
- -CLI & Workbench support
- -mini-menu
- -optional second hand
- -custom background-pattern
- -and more
-
- Tooltypes:
-
- TOP - Number of Pixels in top of the window
- LEFT - Number of Pixels left of the window
- WIDTH - Width of the window in pixels
- HEIGHT - Height of the window in pixels
- SECONDS - 1: seconds on 0: seconds off
- PATTERN - 0000-3333
- OVAL - 1: oval face 0: rectangle
- SHADOW - 1: shadow on 0: shadow off
- SHOWFACE - 0: show minute marks 4: show no marks at all
- HANDTYPE - 0: line 1: triangle 2: rhombus 2: rectangle
- HANDWIDTH - 0: very thin 4: very thick
- DRAWPENS - 00000000000000-33333333333333
- BORDERTYPE- 0 no border 5 full border
- CHIME - 0 no chime 4 full functioning chime
- PUBSCREEN - Name of public screen
- TASKPRI - Priority of the clock-task (_should_ be between -5 and 5)
-
- The background-pattern:
-
- It is set by a decimal number of 4 digits (abcd) and gives a background-
- pattern that looks like this:
-
- abababababab For example: 0110 gives dark grey
- cdcdcdcdcdcd 0220 gives light grey
- abababababab 0123 looks a bit like jeans-style
- cdcdcdcdcdcd
-
- numbers greater than nine are set as: xaabbccdd (hex)
-
- The drawpens:
-
- abcdefghijklmn
- a color for second hand
- b color for minute hand
- c color for minute hand outline
- d color for hour hand
- e color for hour hand outline
- f color for shadow
- g color for 12'o clock mark
- h color for quarters
- i color for hour marks
- j color for minute marks
- k border color 0
- l border color 1
- m border color 2
- n border color 3
-
- You also can use xaabbccddeeffgghhiijjkkllmmnn.
-
- CLI-commands:
-
- TOP/N,LEFT/N,WIDTH/N,HEIGHT/N,SECONDS/S,PATTERN/K,OVAL/S,SHADOW/S,
- SHOWFACE/N,HANDTYPE/N,HANDWIDTH/N,DRAWPENS/K,BORDERTYPE/N,CHIME/N,
- PUBSCREEN/K,TASKPRI/N:
-
- -all the same.
-
- Menus:
-
- You can set anything but pubscreens and taskpriority from menus and save it to
- the tooltypes field with the `Save prefs' menu.
- There's also an alarm-function from menus.
-
- Gadgets:
-
- There is a invisible close-gadget in the upper left corner of the window,
- a (also invisible) depth-gadget in the upper right, a sizing-gadget in the
- lower right corner and a drag-gadget in the middle of the window.
-
- The legal stuff:
- If you use this program, you use it at your own risk - there is absolutely
- no warranty for any damage forced by this program (and by no means for wild
- attacks of envious non-amiga-users).
- This program is public-domain, that means you can copy, modify or use it as
- long as you wish and you needn't pay anything.
- But: It must be absolutely clear at any time if and by what person this
- program was modified - there must be a FULL list of ALL the authors
- who made ANYTHING about this program at least in the source code
- and also in any about-requesters.
- (I don't want to be blamed of any errors somebody else made than me.)
