(Just another) binary clock applet for the gnome panel

[ccj@griskroppen]

Hi,

As a hello world project with panel applets and GTK, I hacked a binary clock applet
that docks into the gnome panel. Feel free to download from
http://www.foolsquest.net/ccj/ccbinclock/

Experienced GTK-programmers are welcome to tell me what I did horribly wrong,
especially wrt memory management. Not-so-experienced GTK-programmers are
welcome to just use it.

In the great tradition of binary clocks, it isn't useful, just cute.

I searched and searched for a binary clock that would work in a gnome panel and was delighted to find yours. It seemed to take a while for it to appear in the applications you can add to the panel but that's probably a gnome thing.

What can I say .. I absolutely love it ... thank you!

i like it but, to me your example looks like 18 and not 45 lol, i'd never know what time it is, not that i know anyway, i think i need a new CMOS battery my clock lost an hour in 24 hours ](*,)

Aw they're not useless...my watch is in binary :)

The only thing I can see iffy about it operates under the assumption that the background color of your panel is off-white (the default color). Mine is semi-transparent, so the clock gets a white background. If I make my panel blue, the background of the clock stays white. But then, I don't know anything about gtk and would have no idea how to give it a dynamic or transparent background anyway *shrug* good job on it, though! I like binary stuff!
