Re: [newbie] On the Subject of clocks ... Need Enlightenment
Very cool! Ty Mario! ;) one question... what's the NULL Statement do in that? I didn't try the man pages... didn't know there was a section for clocks..didn't think that (being too simple) would be in it.

Re: [newbie] On the Subject of clocks ... Need Enlightenment
I use Enlightenment full time, and have done so for over two years now. For a lot of E users, they are provided a clock by another app. Many use the app gkrellm. Here's a screen shot of the two I have running on my desktop right now. There's an option of it displaying a clock, as well as doing other things for you. (Displaying when you have mail, users on the machine, ssh, ftp, sftp connections, and 'many many more!') http://ic.net/~timh/gkrellm_clock.png The little fish tank looking thing in the middle is something "unrelated" to gkrellm. But it has a clock under the host name, and date. A lot of E users use an app like that. It servers multiple functions and think it looks kewl as well! :') Of course there are more "generic" ways of doing it with xclock. It's completely up to your likes and dislikes. There also may be epplets that have a clock. I think if you check out /usr/bin/E-Clock.epplet. You can use that as well. Check out GKrellM's webpage. Youcan download it there, and find plugins to use with it as well. http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html Hope that helps. tdh -- T.

Re: [newbie] On the Subject of clocks ... Need Enlightenment
use the command "xclock -digital -brief" this will open up a small clock window displaying the time in digital format. do a man xclock for more details. Since you seem keen to stick with enlightenment edit the file $HOME/.enlightenment/file.menu and add the foll line there: "MY_CLOCK" NULL exec "xclock -digital -brief" please keep the quotes when editing the file.menu file. save the file and restart enlightenment ( + + will also work if enlightenment is already running). Then left-click any where on your desktop and in the menu that appears choose MY_CLOCK. HTH, mario FemmeFatale wrote: > > yes OK Bad joke in subject line > > I literally need a clock in Elightenment.

[newbie] On the Subject of clocks ... Need Enlightenment
yes OK Bad joke in subject line I literally need a clock in Elightenment. I'm so frigging clueless... Every other WM. has one... Even that weirdo TWM. I have tried all the WM's Mandrake 8.x has to offer by default. I don't remember if there is one in Blackbox (haven't played with it much). So far I am partial to KDE *yay windowsy interface i can handle!* & Enlightenment *Yay Linuxy interface I can handle!* But... the lack of a clock in E is driving me insane! Help?
