GNOME panel analog clock
I’ve been using for vertical panel for quite a while, and keep wondering why those GNOME people removed analog clock entirely and don’t even consider porting it to GNOME 2. Being afraid of writing one myself, I keep searching on net to no avail. Recently noticed MacSlow’s Cairo-Clock and it’s quite beautiful; but hell no, it doesn’t work without compiz!
However luck is on my side; Joachim Breitner has got one. 
But the patch is for GNOME 2.12, so I anticipate some effort to port it to 2.18 — and I’m right. Not a no-brainer, but at least got it working on my machine without any apparent error.
The patch (against Ubuntu Feisty gnome-panel 2.18.1-0ubuntu3.1 package) can be downloaded here. It should work with Debian package as well. Later I’ll also upload deb binary package somewhere when time permits.
Hi,
glad that you could make use of my code. How about a patch for gnome-panel 2.20.0.1-2 − that’s the current version in Debian?
Greetings,
Joachim
cairo-clock certainly works with compiz -> http://macslow.thepimp.net/?p=140
Clock on that image is ugly…
@Livio:
Well, yes, I absolutely agree.
