MacSlow's Cairo-Clock For Linux

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)
