OVERVIEW:
wIconClock is a simple example program that uses the wIconify programmer's
interface. It opens a clock icon on each screen: the icon shows the
current time as an analog clock, and the icon name displays the time in
digital form. You can choose from military (24 hour) or standard (12 hour)
formats.
USING WICONCLOCK:
To start wIconClock, type the following command (after wIconify is running):
1> RUN >NIL: <NIL: WICONCLOCK
Clock icons should open on all screens (if no clock icons appear, try
running wIconClock without the redirection to NIL: so that you can get any
error messages that it produces).
wIconClock initially uses the standard 12-hour representation for its
digital readout. You can change this to the 24-hour military clock by
double-clocking on any clock icon (or by selecting the clock icon and choosing
OPEN from the ICON menu). Double-clicking again sets it back to the 12-hour
display.
You can force wIconClock to use the 24-hour military clock by following the
wIconClock command with the word MILITARY:
1> RUN >NIL: <NIL: WICONCLOCK MILITARY
(you can also specify STANDARD in this way, but that is the default, so it is
not really necessary).
You can remove a clock icon from any screen by left-right clocking on the
clock icon (click the right mouse button while the left one is being held
down), or by selecting the clock icon and choosing CLOSE from the ICON menu.
If you close all the clock icons, wIconClock will exit.
As long as wIconClock is running, it will open a new icon on each screen
that is openned.
