DigitalClockView
Release 1.3
20 Aug 1992

(NeXTMail ok, nay, quite welcome)
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.
