wmbinclock1

Usage

Overview

wmbinclock is a dockable binary clock applet for Window Maker, it shows the current system time (in 24-hour format) as a classic binary display where you have to add up the bits to get the actual time.

Options

-h --help

Show summary of options.

-m --mode

Select display mode (horizontal or vertical).

-i <color> --coloron=<color>

Color to use for drawing the dots when they are lit. (One of: gray neonred gold cyan pink blue green darkred none.)

-o <color> --coloroff=<color>

Color to use for drawing the dots when they are not lit. (One of: gray neonred gold cyan pink blue green darkred none.)

-d <color> --colordate=<color>

Color to use for the date.

-s <on|off> --superfluous=<on|off>

Display superfluous leds in the panel (default: on).

-display <display name>

Use an alternate X display.

Examples

wmbinclock shows the current system time as a panel of bits, just like the classical meatspace binary clocks.

The default panel (vertical mode) looks like this:

+ + + + + + <- 8
+ + + + + + <- 4
+ + + + + + <- 2
+ + + + + + <- 1

H H M M S S

You have to add the individual bits for each column to get the decimal number for the column. The six columns show the current time in 24-hour format. For example:

+ + + + + + <- 8
+ + o + + o <- 4
o + + + o o <- 2
+ o o + o o <- 1

2 1 5 0 3 7

It's currently 21h50 and 37 seconds.

The horizontal panel also shows the date:

+ + + + + + <- Hour
+ + + + + + <- Minute
+ + + + + + <- Second
+ + + + + + <- Day
+ + + + + + <- Month

For example:

+ * + * + * <- 21
* * + + * + <- 50
* + + * + * <- 37
+ + * * + * <- 13
+ + + * * + <- 06
