documentation on themes
-----------------------
SPECIAL NOTE FOR THE IMPATIENT: copy your themes to either
/usr/local/share/asclock/ or /usr/share/asclock/
a theme consists of 8 xpms and a position file called 'config'.
all tiles within the same xpm must have the same width or height, except the
colon which has half the width of the other digits.
the xpm's should have the following names:
clock.xpm - the groundplate in the backhround. If the groundplate has
transparent areas, this pixmap should also have a mask bitmap
as defined by the XPM standard.
Look at one of the examples coming along with this package for
infos on how this exactly looks like.
asclock will open a window with the size of this pixmap.
date.xpm - contains the numbers for the calendar.
format: '1234567890:'
led.xpm - contains the numbers for the time display. A colon needs to be
here after the numbers, which should have at most half the width
of the numbers.
format: '0123456789:(am)(pm)'
the colon needs to have half the width of the digits.
the 'am' and 'pm' part have 1.5 times the size of a digit.
month.xpm - contains the month names. this will go away and will be replaced
by an alphabet, from which the month names will be assembled.
format: 'Jan'
'Feb'
'Mar'
'Apr'
'May'
'Jun'
'Jul'
'Aug'
'Sep'
'Oct'
'Nov'
'Dec'
weekday.xpm - contains the weekday names. this will go away and will be replaced
by an alphabet, from which the month names will be assembled.
format: 'Mon'
'Tue'
'Wed'
'Thr'
'Fri'
'Sat'
'Sun'
hour.xpm - contains an hour pointer for analog clocks.
12 o'clock is asumed.
minute.xpm - contains a minute pointer for analog clocks.
12 o'clock is asumed.
second.xpm - contains the seconds pointer for analog clocks.
12 o'clock is asumed.
Here comes the tricky part - the config file:
config - this is an ascii file, specifying the positions of the pixmaps.
It can be linked against asclock for default themes, and therefore must
be a C- compilable file.
If you want to do a theme with time or calendar part only, you
could specify a 0 as position. The pixmap will not be displayed then.
variable names that can be defined in 'config':
booleans:: ( 0==no, 1==yes )
led_visible : time active
week_visible : weekday pixmap active
cal_visible : calendar day active
month_visible : month pixmap active
analog_visible : use analog clock features
hour_visible : show the hour pointer
min_visible : show the minute pointer
sec_visible : show the second pointer
integers::
led_elem_width : time digit width
led_elem_height : time digit height
led_24h_hour1_x : x position of hour digit 1 in 24h format
led_24h_hour2_x : x position of hour digit 2 in 24h format
led_24h_colon_x : x position of colon in 24h format
led_24h_min1_x : x postion of minute digit 1 in 24h format
led_24h_min2_x : x position of minute digit 2 in 24h format
led_24h_topy : y top line of all time digits in 24h format
led_12h_hour1_x : x position of hour digit 1 in 12h format
led_12h_hour2_x : x position of hour digit 2 in 12h format
led_12h_colon_x : x position of colon in 12h format
led_12h_min1_x : x postion of minute digit 1 in 12h format
led_12h_min2_x : x position of minute digit 2 in 12h format
led_ampm_x : x position of am/pm led
led_ampm_width : width of am/pm led
led_12_topy : y top line of all time digits in 12h format
week_elem_width : weekday element width
week_elem_height: weekday element height
week_x : weekday x position
week_y : weekday top y position
cal_elem_width : calendar element width
cal_elem_height : calendar element height
cal1_x : x position of calendar digit 1
cal2_x : x position of calendar digit 2
cal_topy : y top line of calendar digits
comment: if there is only one calendar digit,
the position of the digit is (x1+x2)/2
month_elem_width: month element width
month_elem_height: month element height
month_x : x position of month element
month_y : y top line of month element
hour_center_x : center x position on clock.xpm
hour_center_y : center y position on clock.xpm
hour_rot_x : rotation origin x pos on hour.xpm
hour_rot_y : rotation origin y pos on hour.xpm
min_center_x : center x position on clock.xpm
min_center_y : center y position on clock.xpm
min_rot_x : rotation origin x pos on min.xpm
min_rot_y : rotation origin y pos on min.xpm
sec_center_x : center x position on clock.xpm
sec_center_y : center y position on clock.xpm
sec_rot_x : rotation origin x pos on sec.xpm
sec_rot_y : rotation origin y pos on sec.xpm
See the different themes directories for examples!!!
To make new themes it usually helps to just copy a similar one
and gradually replace it's elements.
Enjoy.
