ObjectDock: Word Time Clock docklet????

Hello,

Does anybody knows about a world time clock docklet for ObjectDock Plus?

I'd like to have a tab with some clocks but I'd like to customize them, each one with a city time.

I use a nice little freebie app that I have a shortcut to in the dock

http://www.programming.de/

Its free, and simple. Once on page, click on downloads in menu and the World Time Clock is about 4th down.

Thank you!

Nice application!

But, don't you think it would be great to have a tab with some clocks?

Hmmm... I like the idea too...

If I wasn't going on holiday in two weeks I'd have a look at attempting it. Maybe will anyway.

I forgot to mention: I have some nice clock icons too!

Seriously: a clock with the option to set a different time zone is enough!

Hi Chris TH,

Any news about the world clock?

Hi Gallus,

Been on holiday the last 2 weeks so it was probably not the right thing to do to leave such a teaser in this thread just before going away sorry

I had a quick look at AndreasV's web site before I left. There maybe something there that can be adapted to what we want. Now that I'm back I'll look into it further.

Sorry man, not yet... There are a few scriptable clocks out there that I'm fiddling with but no luck yet. After spending all day at work in front of the screen, there's not a lot of desire to sit in front of it all night too!

Update: Been fiddling with the SysSytats clocks and I'm close to getting something useful. I've got the clocks showing with different times, but there's more work to do with getting the Am/Pm display right etc.

It basically amounts to a new script+config(ini) pair of files for each timezone and the timezones are manually set in each script (so no auto daylight saving changes etc ).

Running into some problems with the scripting.

Is there anyone watching this thread that has got some experience with VBscript & SysStats that could offer some advice?

Wellll, that's nice & I'll give it a try an' all but I sort of wanted the clock(s) in an ObjectDock+.

My system tray is already cluttered enough... of course cluttering up my docks is no problem!

I have finally worked out all my script faults and have a working world-time clock for OD+ (woo hoo!)

It's based on the SysStats docklet system http://www.dockex.com/__dkpackage.php?dk=38

I'm just waiting for permission to include the graphics in my version of the docklet (I didn't draw anything but used the existing clock graphics). When (if?) this happens, I'll upload to Wincustomize and DockEx.

Hey Gallus (and anyone else interested...)

It's up! https://www.wincustomize.com/download.aspx?LibID=29&SkinID=5462

You need to have SysStats installed - I wasn't a big fan of docklets at all until I found SysStats! It's really quite capable.

There's a comprehensive readme included, but email me if you have any questions.

The docklet looks like it's in zip format. If it's not (it'll be .odock) just rename it to .zip and use your normal archive app to unpack it.

Have fun!

Hey Gallus! Did you get a copy of my 'world' clock yet?

Did it do what you wanted?

Where'd ya go?
