Usage

Overview

Bclock simply displays the current time on an analog display.

Options

-fg color

choose a different color for the hands of the clock

-bg color

choose a different color for the background.

-curve color

choose a different color for the hands on the clock.

-backing { WhenMapped Always NotUseful }

selects an appropriate level of backing store.

-geometry geometry

define the initial window geometry; see X(1).

-display display

specify the display to use; see X(1).

-bd color

choose a different color for the window border.

-bw width

choose a different width for the window border. As the Clock widget changes its border around quite a bit, this is most usefully set to zero.

-shape

causes the clock to use the Shape extension to create an oval window. This is the default unless the shapeWindow resource is set to false.

-noshape

causes the clock to not reshape itself and ancestors to exactly fit the outline of the clock.

-transparent

causes the clock to consist only of the hands, and the border.

Colors

If you would like your clock to be viewable in color, include the following in the #ifdef COLOR section you read with xrdb:

*customization: -color

This will cause bclock to pick up the colors in the app-defaults color customization file: <XRoot>/lib/X11/app-defaults/Clock-color. Below are the default colors:

Clock*Background: grey
Clock*BorderColor: light blue
Clock*curve: yellow
