Hello guys!
Hope you all are doing well, it’s been a while I don’t post some news here, so here I’m with this new Smartclock version I called Smartclock2.
The first try, even if it was nice, was really too much complicated to configure and to manage, with too many configurable options even for me that I coded it 🙂
So I saved the good stuff and I have built a new version which is, best of all, more efficient and less cpu hungry.
Very simple to use: run the app and click the left mouse button (or touch the screen) to switch to the next available layout, right click to quit.
What you see in the animated gif are the example layouts I included in the repository, you can use them as a base to create your very own super-cute-clocks using the images you prefer!
The repository includes a readme file with some basic instructions, all the needed graphic resources, the example layouts and the source code complete with all the needed includes.
As always this program has been developed using the mighty Hollywood-MAL.
Features:
- Available source code
- Free
- Customizable strings to show informations in your native language
- Support for images (most common formats are supported)
- Support for animGifs as background or as objects
- Support for clock: digital, analog and graphical views
- Support OpenWeather to retrive current weather and forecast (you need a free api key)
- Support for news ticker using an RSS feed url
- Multiple layouts: click (or touch) the screen to switch the another layout
- Compatible with any system supported by Hollywood-MAL
In theory all images and animation formats supported by Hollywood should be supported by this app too but I’ve only tried animated gifs 🙂
On GitHub you can also find a build ready to use for:
- Windows64
- Linux64
- LinuxARM
Feel free to build it for your preferred system!
