shClock

Version: v2.3

by: shUI [More]

shClock
An extremely light-weight data broker addons that monitors and displays time/date related information

Why use this addon instead of some of the other famous system monitors? Simple: elegance, ease of use, and efficiency. Other addons similar to shClock are extremely "busy" and highly inefficient when it comes to coding.

IMPORTANT: You must have a data broker display addon in order to enable this addon. I recommend Docking Station or you can find a list of other LDB display addons here. Changing the fonts of the tooltips is handled via a tooltip addon. I highly recommend using TipTac.

This addon displays and has the following options:

Server Time
Local Time
UTC Time
Date
Locale
Shows pending calendar invites in tooltip and broker (updated in real time)
Option: for showing 24-hour or 12-hour formatted time

I was completely baffled when I saw some coding of other author's data broker addons that displayed this information. My goals in creating this addon are:

Make the code as efficient as possible and to maintain < 10kb of memory usage AND < 0.7 cpu_cycles/second w/o loss in funtionality.
Compared to other LDB clock addons, MUCH more efficient (memory and cpu) with same basic functionalities
Be visually appealing and easy to read
Be updated in real time via the tooltip AND data broker text
Display relevant data that is important (NO FLUFF or Techno Babble)

Bug Reports and/or Requests:
All bug reports, requests (with this addon or another), errors, suggestions, and problems will be handled via the forum-comments page.

Where is it showing the wrong time? In the tooltip or in LDB?

I haven't really added that yet, but maybe that is something to add in the future as an option. It's an easy addition for the next update
