MacSlow's Cairo-Clock is an analog-clock using gtk+ and cairo depending on the X11 Composite-extension and a compositing-manager.
It's an analog clock displaying the system-time. "So what?", you might say, "There are about 1.023.493 of those already out there!". Indeed there are and probably some more, but this one is a bit different.
It leverages the new visual features offered by Xorg 6.9/7.0 in combination with a compositing-manager (e.g. like xcompmgr), gtk+ 2.8.x and cairo 1.0.2 to produce a time-display with pretty-pixels.
Requirements:
· gcc and sane build-system
· gtk+ 2.8.x
· cairo 1.0.2
· librsvg 2.13.5
· libglade 2.5.1
· Xorg 6.9/7.0 (with enabled Composite-extension)
· a compositing-manager (e.g. xcompmgr)
What's New in This Release:
· using gettext now and localized for: da, de, en_GB, es, fi, fr, it, nl, pl, pt_PT, ru, sl, sv ,tr, zh_CN, zh_TW
· using GOption, GList and GString for theme-list handling
· checking for composited desktop-environment, thus depending on gtk+ >= 2.10.0
· new theme included: gremlin/gremlin-24
· smooth hand animations
· no more flashing of background clear-color upon startup
· fixed close-button in about-dialog
· added workaround for "white rectangle"-bug in xserver, see freedesktop bugzilla-entry #11109 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11109)
