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.

The only time I'll call blizzard code is when I'm trying to get time from server. At the top of the shClock.lua - there are two config options, change the following code: Code: local showMilitary = false to Code: local showMilitary = true Save the lua file and reload your UI, done. __________________ shPerformance: Data Broker memory/latency/fps usage display utility shNameplates: Lightweight, simple, and sexy nameplates shClock: Lightweight and simple data broker clock

Hmm, can you give me a better explanation of the error...b/c I am not able to recreate it.

The tooltip and data broker were the same; -3:42am server/local, 2:42 utc.

edit: http://imgur.com/ZXrZB - actual time here is 10:02am server/local. this is 2.1.

Ya I know, stupid stupid mistake again. I think I fixed it all now!

15k isn't a big deal to me, I have some addons that use 15MiB, but I really need those seconds to show.

That's a great idea, look for an update soon!

It should already do that...
