A minimal clock utility which is designed to look pretty in your Linux or Mac terminal. It is highly customizable through the config.h file which lets you change the parameters of font, color, time format as well as size and offset (to cover a few). You can use it as temporary time indicator or even your main system clock in a tiling window manager for example.
Note: clck currently supports only macOS and Linux, but a Windows port may be added in the future
There are three ways to compile the project:
- Use make:
make build
- Use fare:
fare build
- Use plain gcc:
gcc src/main.c -o bin/clck -I src/include/
To run clck after compilation you can use:
./bin/clck
Note: If you want to run clck everywhere on your system you should add the binary to your PATH. Otherwise you have to specify the path to the binary every time you want to use it from somewhere else like another program.
To customize clck you can change the parameters which are specified in the config.h file to your needs and then recompile the project. Now your changes should be applied. There are comments on each customizable parameter in the configuration file which should explain the functionality of each specific value.
Note: The following examples are just ones with some tiny changes. You can customize clck in the way you want. It even supports more detailed fonts (by specifiyng the CHAR_W and CHAR_H parameter) as well as the usage of any unicode character and hex color so that you can go crazy with your custom designs.
