NAME
buici-clock - attractive X11 clock SYNOPSIS
buici-clock [ -geometry geometry ] DESCRIPTION
buici-clock displays an attractive, analog, X11 clock. Among the many digital clocks and analog clocks with peculiar display artifacts, buici-clock intends to stand out as a stylish, low-overhead clock. OPTIONS
-geometry geometry This standard X11 options specifies the position and size of the clock; see X(1). USAGE
What's to say. This release of buici-clock offers no customizable features. It has a white clock face, black markers, a black border, and a red second hand with a circular pointer. The minute and hour hands are black and rectangular. Some may recognize the form from Swiss railway clocks. RESOURCES
Because this program doesn't use a toolkit, it recognizes only the resources specified here. showSecondHand Is a boolean indicating whether or not the second hand will display. Note that in the current version of buici-clock, disabling the second hand does not prevent an update of the clock face every second. AUTHOR

NAME
oclock - round X clock SYNOPSIS
oclock [-option ... ] DESCRIPTION
Oclock simply displays the current time on an analog display. OPTIONS
-fg color choose a different color for the both hands and the jewel of the clock -bg color choose a different color for the background. -jewel color choose a different color for the jewel on the clock. -minute color choose a different color for the minute hand of the clock. -hour color choose a different color for the hour hand of the clock. -backing { WhenMapped Always NotUseful } selects an appropriate level of backing store. -geometry geometry define the initial window geometry; see X(7). -display display specify the display to use; see X(7). -bd color choose a different color for the window border. -bw width choose a different width for the window border. As the Clock widget changes its border around quite a bit, this is most usefully set to zero. -shape causes the clock to use the Shape extension to create an oval window. This is the default unless the shapeWindow resource is set to false. -noshape causes the clock to not reshape itself and ancestors to exactly fit the outline of the clock. -transparent causes the clock to consist only of the jewel, the hands, and the border. COLORS
If you would like your clock to be viewable in color, include the following in the #ifdef COLOR section you read with xrdb: *customization: -color This will cause oclock to pick up the colors in the app-defaults color customization file: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Clock-color. Below are the default colors: Clock*Background: grey Clock*BorderColor: light blue Clock*hour: yellow Clock*jewel: yellow Clock*minute: yellow SEE ALSO
