Feature request: Fliqlo missing features #1

Closed jurczewski closed 3 years ago

jurczewski commented 3 years ago

Hi, big fan of your project. Now when Flash is dead and a new version of Fliqlo is far from perfect, your project is a real helper.

If you plan to continue to develop this project I would suggest following features:

Have a good day :-)

Hi! Replying to say that I'd love the features suggested from @jurczewski too! Also it would be nice to be able to resize the main clock and use it on the primary monitor only. I'm using DisplayFusion to manage my screensaver, but timezones appear on the secondary monitor (vertical in my case) even if I disable the screensaver on that monitor. Immagine

phaselden commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the feedback. I plan to look into these on the weekend.

Love this as an alternative to fliqlo as well! Hope you keep working on it. As others have said, font size picker and multi monitor support would be amazing. Mirroring the clock to another monitor would be great. Thanks for making this and keep up the great work!

fluoroom commented 3 years ago

I love this project! I'd like mirroring the main clock on two monitors too or maybe entering my own cities would be nice.

Fliqlo finally stopped working here as well so this is great.

However we don't use AM and PM in Finland at all so 24h at least is a must.

Thanks so far!

Also the new release without flash from the original Fliqlo author needs internet access to work. That is a no go i think! Doesn't matter which resources it needs! Thanks for this alternative and hope also for a new version here with some more already described features!

phaselden commented 3 years ago

Thanks @Cris--, that's good to know as I was considering automating the download of fonts from Google and also periodically updating timezone information via the net.

@phaselden Hi Phil, I didn't see your email anywhere, so I'll post here. First, great project - really like this screen saver. I downloaded your source and made some of the updates here (and what I wanted). Let me know if you want my source - happy to share so you can review and merge in if you like?

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry for spamming, and it's not a valuable contribution but I just wanted to say that I love you all for putting that much effort into this amazing project!

phaselden commented 3 years ago

Hi @chasingwatts. Wow - great work. It's a bit different from the stuff I have underway but I may be able to use parts of your changes. Feel free to email me what you have at phaselden at gmail dot com.

A beta version of 1.2 is now available in the Releases

phaselden commented 3 years ago

A new beta build of 1.2 is now available. This one uses an embedded font which is closer (identical?) to the font used by Fliqlo. A known issue ATM is that the time displays smaller when used for the Current Time.

Do we have to uninstall the previous version before installing this build?

phaselden commented 3 years ago

No, just replace the .scr file. Note: Your settings from beta 1 will be lost, so it will default to its, er, default state.

Also, I have had a report of the latest beta not working, so you might like to keep a copy of beta 1 in case you want to revert to that.

If development continues, checking if a new version is available might be helpful.

phaselden commented 3 years ago

Beta 3 is now available in the Releases page.

Hi. Glad to hear that! Can you include the .src file? image

redburn commented 3 years ago

@jurczewski Check again, it's there now.

jurczewski commented 3 years ago

Nevermind, I can see it has been updated 😀

iostream047 commented 3 years ago

Dear sir, Thank you so much for this beautiful screensaver. The only issue I have is that in my world-clock view, where I have 3 cities right now, the day of the week is displayed for only one of them. Also, the city with the day displayed is one day ahead of the other two- this city is past midnight and its Tuesday for there. The "Monday" for the other two of my cities is not being displayed. I am using v1.3. My request is to include a feature to "Show day of the week" that shows the day of the week for every city in the list, individually, which I plan to always leave toggled on! Thanks.
