Description: Fuzzy clock for gdesklets. On mouseover date and digital time appear; on click it moves in front of overlapping windows. Colours and fonts are customisable, and you can set the arrangement depending on which corner of the screen you put it.Last changelog:
I'm still learning myself how to work gdesklets, and the documentation is by no means complete, but this is what works for me:
Save the file (which should be called fuzzyclock.display) into a convenient place (I use ~/.gdesklets/Displays/).
In a terminal enter:
gdesklets open ~/.gdesklets/Displays/fuzzyclock.display
As I say I'm pretty new to this, so if this doesn't work, assuming you've got gdesklets installed correctly, I may not be able to help.
i've just followed the 'download' link, which doesn't appear to be working correctly. If I click the link I get the file opened in the browser as text, but if I try to save the target it's a .php file, which I don't want. I guess in order to download you should click the download link, copy the resulting text from you browser, paste it into a text editor, save it as ~/.gdesklets/Displays/fuzzyclock.display
then run gdesklets open ~/.gdesklets/Displays/fuzzyclock.display
You can also copy the link location, open a terminal, and wget "linklocationhere". Incidentally, sticking this in any type of archive would solve the problem, users would just have to unpack the archive first.
