Some Awn applet previews

I have configured Awn-extras to get see what was goign on with new applets. Basicly if you configure it you get two new applets:

  1. Clock
  2. Wobbly Zini

I assume you know what the Clock applet does...But the Wobbly Zini you most likely haven't heard of before. Well before you get all excited, the Wobbly Zini doesn't do much, more for you to look at. It's Basically this little light thing going around in the shape of a star. It is probably a test/example for the developers.

So more about the clock. I think its idea is great but at the moment it looks kind of ugly? I am not sure but maybe there is a way to change its colors? Mine looks kind of out of place. But useful none the less.

So now that I have bored you with all my words, here is a short video clip. Doesn't really show much, just the clock ticking....how exciting, and well the Wobbly thing doing what ever the hell it does:

there is also a really rough gnome main menu applet, that works but had a lot of problems on my computer

Also the clock can be made into a digital clock

Navigate to the src directory in awn-core-applets and go to line 109 in clock-applet.c and repace CLOCK_ANALOGIC with CLOCK_DIGITAL

As for the gnome main menu applet, if you look in the video i get a white line on the dock...that was the main menu applet, it didn't work for me.

AS for the analog, I didn't know that. Maybe if I have some time tomorrow I will try that, and make a post with that in it too.
anyone else think the clock is too big? It seems very un-porportional to everything else on the dock.....
I'm the developper of the clock applet.

@puller : yes, it's too big and unproportionnal. I'm fixing it.

I also do the work to integrate the preference in GConf, the clock can support cairo-clock theme, and other things
