-
- This is a pretty major rewrite of DigitalClockView that gets it up to
- speed with the new capabilities of BackSpace. Most importantly, the
- inspector panel that BackSpace now offers all of its modules is
- supported, allowing the user to change:
- * The size of the clock
- * The speed that the clock bounces around
- * Whether military time or normal 'AM/PM' time is used
-
- For black and white folks, it keeps the clock at a steady pure white,
- but for you bums with color, it randomly moves the RGB values around
- between 0 and 1. It doesn't end up looking as cool as it could, doing
- this, because it only redraws the bitmap that has the time in it when
- the time changes- i.e. once a second, so the color changes aren't nice
- and smooth... There's probably a neater thing that can be done with
- color, but given that I can't try out any of my ideas, I'm sort of
- limited in seeing what works and doesn't...
-
- To install it, just copy DigitalClockView.BackO into your
- BackSpace.app directory.
-
- All I ask is that you drop me a letter at pharr@cs.yale.edu if you
- like it or have any suggestions.
