wmBinClock shows the actual system time as binary clock. You have to add up the "bits" to get the time. The clock has a 24 hour format.
In the default mode (vertical), the display is like this:
+ + + + + + <- 8
+ + + + + + <- 4
+ + + + + + <- 2
+ + + + + + <- 1
H H M M S S
For example:
+ + + + + + <- 8
+ + * + + * <- 4
* + + + * * <- 2
+ * * + * * <- 1
2 1 5 0 3 7
And in the horizontal mode, it's like this:
+ + + + + + <- Hour
+ + + + + + <- Minute
+ + + + + + <- Second
+ + + + + + <- Day
+ + + + + + <- Month
For example:
+ * + * + * <- 21
* * + + * + <- 50
* + + * + * <- 37
+ + * * + * <- 13
+ + + * * + <- 06
gcc will do, under Linux, install following packages:
apt-get install x11proto-core-dev libxpm-dev libxext-dev
Then run make
General Usage: ./wmBinClock OPTIONS
Colors:
-i COLOR, --coloron=COLOR Select COLOR as LED on color
-o COLOR, --coloroff=COLOR Select COLOR as LED off color
-d COLOR, --datecoloron=COLOR Select COLOR as LED on color
for date display
Where COLOR is one off these colors: gray neonred gold cyan pink blue green darkred none
Display mode
-m MODE, --mode=MODE Select display mode
Where MODE is: "horizontal" or "vertical"
-s {on/off}, --superfluous={on/off} Display e.g. led for 32 in hours
-display (host:screen) Use an alternative XWindow display
The default is "wmBinClock -i neonred -o gray -d green -m vertical -s on -display 0:0"
Thanks to the frenchie Fleur M. for giving me the idea of this program ;)
