BeClock

BeClock is a simple clock, implemented as KWin Effect.

- This is NO plasmoid!
- You need active desktop FX to use this clock
- The idea is somewhat experimental

Installation:

tar -xjf beclock-kwin-fx.x.y.tbz
cd beclock-kwin-fx
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make && sudo make install

to activate or configure
- rightclick some titlebar
- say "configure..."
- click "all effects"
- filter for beclock
- check and maybe configure it.
- click apply

Advances:
- always on top
- input event dead (you can click through etc.)

Features:

• AM/PM or 24h digital display
• optional date display

What is new in this release:

• hometime support, ie you get one additional timezone to select which will appear as a dot in the analog rings only

What is new in version 0.17a:

• yet another maintenance release, fixes 64bit (thanks to Raymond Wooninck for notice and a patch) and KDE 4.7 building

What is new in version 0.15:

• support for 4.8 (yes, doesn't disappear anymore)
• alpha support for GLSL 2.0 (the blendfunction was irrelevant since not used anyway - i fixed kwin to support 2.0 shaders on my box
• as an extra bonus a binary and a Maya inspired clock

What is new in version 0.14:

• Support for 4.7 (beta)

What is new in version 0.13b:

• Since kwin initializes the effects before the workspace, BeClock could crash kwin by asking for workspace dimensions in the constructor -> workaround

What is new in version 0.12:
