- OVERVIEW:
-
- wIconClock is a simple example program that uses the wIconify programmer's
- interface. It opens a clock icon on each screen: the icon shows the
- current time as an analog clock, and the icon name displays the time in
- digital form. You can choose from military (24 hour) or standard (12 hour)
- formats.
-
-
- USING WICONCLOCK:
-
- To start wIconClock, type the following command (after wIconify is running):
-
- 1> RUN >NIL: <NIL: WICONCLOCK
-
- Clock icons should open on all screens (if no clock icons appear, try
- running wIconClock without the redirection to NIL: so that you can get any
- error messages that it produces).
-
- wIconClock initially uses the standard 12-hour representation for its
- digital readout. You can change this to the 24-hour military clock by
- double-clocking on any clock icon (or by selecting the clock icon and choosing
- OPEN from the ICON menu). Double-clicking again sets it back to the 12-hour
- display.
-
- You can force wIconClock to use the 24-hour military clock by following the
- wIconClock command with the word MILITARY:
-
- 1> RUN >NIL: <NIL: WICONCLOCK MILITARY
-
- (you can also specify STANDARD in this way, but that is the default, so it is
- not really necessary).
-
- You can remove a clock icon from any screen by left-right clocking on the
- clock icon (click the right mouse button while the left one is being held
- down), or by selecting the clock icon and choosing CLOSE from the ICON menu.
- If you close all the clock icons, wIconClock will exit.
-
- As long as wIconClock is running, it will open a new icon on each screen
- that is openned.
