ClockSS v0.2

Posted 2006 November 7
Filed under: clockss, symbian, uiq |

Changes:

  • Added 3 more clock types (binary led, binary, analog)
  • Added “Total lock” mode
  • Some minor changes

Download:

The “Total lock” means, when turned on, is more agressive in locking: ie if you press the ‘@’ (or internet) button, or long press the back button, it will detect that it is sent to background, and forces the phone to bring it in the foreground. Thus reducing the chance of doing something by mistake.

Here are the screenshots of the new clock types:

    Hi, very good job. Thanks, you are on the right way. Some improvements and this will be the most needed application for UIQ 3.0

    I have one question, will be possible to unlock the keaypad with active ClockSS without clicking on ALT, e.g. I think, * and after # can be enough…

    thanks so much Pal! that is an essential software for the UIQ3.
    like the spacy fonts you added, even i can’t read them ;)
    let me know if i can support you in any graphic matter (typefaces for different clock types… check: http://www.typedifferent.com

    You are our best!
    Thank you so much for good job.
    -Could add in the DATE with DAY into this CLOCK screen saver?
    -Agreed with Hmyzak comments, that I am not using the P990 keypad, please make it simple way to unlock the screen saver.

    i have been highlighting your software on my thread at http://secentral.net/forum/index.php?topic=13309.90

    this screensaver is what i have been desparately looking for
    great job
    nice, big and clear
    even if you dont want to change your original plans
    how about doing an option for a digital time with date, day and month
    that would be awesome

    Hi,

    nice piece of freeware, but you need to do something about the lock that activates when the clock is on. Isn’it possible to deactivate the lock? Its pretty annoying that I have to unlock 2 times on a different way.

    Of course I can only use the clock’s lock feature, but I always have to wait min. 10 secs for that. I want a lock immediately and most important of all: call in when necessary. Because sometimes, I’m checking something else and when I can use the phone again, it’s already been locked due the 10 secs interval.

    Great. But the abalog clock needs to change the hour hand more frequently. Your screen shot above for example looks like ten minutes to twelve when it is in fact ten minutes to one o’clock. It would be better if the hour hand could move every, say, quarter of an hour, so that at half past twelve the hour hand is halfway between the twelve and the one.

    I had a look at the source code but it’s way beyond me! Be great if you could correct this.

    Great tool. Thanks for a great work!

    Also i found that the non-moving hour hand is a bit annoying. 14:45h for real but it feels like 13:45h…

    To see seconds (optionally) also would be adding great usability. SOmetimes you just wanna see how long it takes when eg. 20 secs are passed – so that would be wonderful to have.

    And – Date would be great as well. According to the defined style in the local settings. :-)

    WHat felt a bit confusing, was the “16:42″ icon in the top left. First, i thought it was 16:42 today so i was shocked a bit and feared i missed a date… The 16:42 is too … clear for a logo. Maybe you want to show a clock with some “zZ” in it or so? Or can you get it updated as well? Would be brilliant…

    Thanks anyhow.
