Configruable clock #11

Open sumnerevans opened 6 years ago

sumnerevans commented 6 years ago

With Visplay on the ALAMODE TVs, I want to be able to show a clock because the clock in ALAMODE is broken. This should be highly configurable (position, font, margin, border, color, overlay, transparent, on/off, timezone, etc.).

xdaliclock?

This where things might get interesting, do we allow for the execution of user scripts and code? Like if someone has a cool clock!

If we use xembed then embedding arbitrary x applications should be possible. Somewhat out of scope for now, but a good thought to keep in mind for down the road.

sumnerevans commented 6 years ago

@robozman, agree. I mean, we are expecting to need to re-architect this eventually anyway, and dealing with this issue should be part of that process.

Now that we are using qt, we can display arbitrary javascript. The possibilities are endless.

There's a JS version too: https://www.jwz.org/xdaliclock/
