-

-
- [MXMClock 1.0.1]
-
- Enclosed is MXMClock, yet another menubar clock program. This one
- requires 32bit Color QD and a system running multifinder or System
- Seven.
-
- This is an update of MXMClock that I just sent out that crashed on
- computers with bad/corrupt Menu Color entries. This version uses a
- PICT instead of obtaining the menu bar color for a background. I also
- added pref file code. Now when you quit MXMClock it writes the changes
- to a prefs file.
-
- You can change the location of the clock by clicking on it and dragging
- it to a new location. When you quit, the new location will be saved.
-
- It has some intelligence now that if the clock location is off the
- monitor, it will move it on screen. I does not detect other menu icons
- though. It does detect if the menubar height has been set to 0.
-
- In my constant vigil to replace all my startup documents with
- applications, (I don't like things patching the system when it doesn't
- have to) I created this clock program that I use to replace SuperClock.
- It doesn't do anything fancy. It just displays the current time in the
- menubar.
-
- This version requires resedit to change the options. I will fix this in
- a later version. Also I plan on making it a Background only app also.
-
- Things you can set:
-
- Display rect
- Font
- Font Size
- Baseline
- Show seconds
- and Waitnextevent sleep time.
-
- These things can be set in the CLCK resource; a template is provided for
- editing.
-
- This program is freeware.

-
- P.S. I started work on this long ago when I thought it would be a half
- hour hack. After banging my head for over two weeks I lost interest in
- the program. After reading c.s.m.p one day it dawned on me what was
- wrong with the program: If you call GetGworld or Setgworld DO NOT CALL
- SetPort ever again!
