@NODE USAGE
USAGE
ProxWatch uses a template for printing the time and date in it's window.
The default string is '%T' which prints the time only, e.g. '01:23:45'.
You may change this by editing the tooltype @{"WATCHSTRING" LINK TOOLTYPES}.
For example try:
@{fg highlight}Date: %d.%m.%y - Time %T@{fg text}
this may result in 'Date: 17.8.94 - Time: 16:59:12'
For more detailed information see @{"date format" LINK DATEFORMAT}.
@ENDNODE
###########################################################################
@NODE DATEFORMAT
DATE FORMAT
The template describing the desired format for the date. This is
constructed just like C-language printf() statements, except that different

%a - abbreviated weekday name
%A - weekday name
%b - abbreviated month name

%D - same as "%m/%d/%y"
%e - day number with leading spaces
%h - abbreviated month name
%H - hour using 24-hour style with leading 0s
%I - hour using 12-hour style with leading 0s
%j - julian date
%m - month number with leading 0s
%M - the number of minutes with leading 0s
%n - insert a linefeed
%p - AM or PM strings
%q - hour using 24-hour style
%Q - hour using 12-hour style
%r - same as "%I:%M:%S %p"
%R - same as "%H:%M"
%S - number of seconds with leadings 0s
%t - insert a tab character
%T - same as "%H:%M:%S"
%U - week number, taking Sunday as first day of week
%w - weekday number
%W - week number, taking Monday as first day of week

@NODE TOOLTYPES
TOOLTYPES
@{fg highlight}DONOTWAIT=YES@{fg text}
You should set this always to YES to keep sure that the Workbench
task does not wait for termination of the program while booting up.
@{fg highlight}TOOLPRI=<number>@{fg text}
Sets task priority to <number> (default 0). Suggested value is 15,
which will enable ProxWatch to update the watch string immediately
in most cases.
@{fg highlight}STARTPRI=<number>@{fg text}
Sets WBStartup priority to <number> (default 0).
@{fg highlight}PUBSCREEN=<name>@{fg text}
Uses the public screen <name> for the ProxWatch window. If the
screen does not exist the default public screen is used. You may
use the string 'Workbench' to open the window on the Workbench
screen.
@{fg highlight}WATCHSTRING=<template>@{fg text}
The template describing the desired @{"format" LINK DATEFORMAT} of the date and time
string.
@{fg highlight}HELPTEXT=<name>@{fg text}
The complete path to this ProxWatch Amigaguide document. Default is
'HELP:english/ProxWatch.guide'.
@{fg highlight}CLOSEGADGET=YES@{fg text}
Specify YES if you want a close gadget. Defaults to NO.
@{fg highlight}DEPTHGADGET=YES@{fg text}
Specify YES if you want a depth gadget. Defaults to NO.
@{fg highlight}BACKDROP=YES@{fg text}
If BACKDROP is set to YES the ProxWatch window will open as a
borderless not dragable backdrop window. The text is in this case
printed in the colours of the underlying screen bar, therefore
giving the impression that the watch text is added to the screen
title. CLOSEGADGET and DEPTHGADGET will be forced to NO.
