This program uses the
Clock widget. It understands all of the core resource names and classes as well as:
width ( class Width)
Specifies the width of the clock. The default for analog clocks is 164 pixels; the default for digital clocks is whatever is needed to hold the clock when displayed in the chosen font.
height ( class Height)
Specifies the height of the clock. The default for analog clocks is 164 pixels; the default for digital clocks is whatever is needed to hold the clock when displayed in the chosen font.
update ( class Interval)
Specifies the frequency in seconds at which the time should be redisplayed.
foreground ( class Foreground)
Specifies the color for the tick marks. The default depends on whether reverseVideo is specified. If reverseVideo is specified the default is lwhite, otherwise the default is black.
hands ( class Foreground)
Specifies the color of the insides of the clock's hands. The default depends on whether reverseVideo is specified. If reverseVideo is specified the default is lwhite, otherwise the default is black. Note that this resource is not used when Xrender is in effect.
highlight ( class Foreground)
Specifies the color used to highlight the clock's hands. The default is depends on whether reverseVideo is specified. If reverseVideo is specified the default is lwhite, otherwise the default is black. Note that this resource is not used when Xrender is in effect.
analog ( class Boolean)
Specifies whether or not an analog clock should be used instead of a digital one. The default is True.
twentyfour ( class Boolean)
Specifies whether or not a digital clock should display the time in twenty-four hour format. The default is True.
chime ( class Boolean)
Specifies whether or not a bell should be rung on the hour and half hour.
padding ( class Margin)
Specifies the amount of internal padding in pixels to be used. The default is 8.
font ( class Font)
Specifies the font to be used for the digital clock. Note that variable width fonts currently will not always display correctly. This font is only used when Xrender is not in effect.
render ( class Boolean)
Specifies whether or not the Xrender extension should be used for the display. The default is True if xclock has been compiled with Xrender support.
When Xrender is in effect, the following additional resources are understood:
face ( class FaceName)
Specify the pattern for the font to be used for the digital clock when Xrender is used.
sharp ( class Boolean)
Specifies if sharp edges should be used when rendering the clock. The default is False.
buffer ( class Boolean)
Specifies that the updates of the image are drawn to a pixmap before copied into the window instead drawing them into the window directly.
The defaults of the following color resources depend on whether reverseVideo is specified. If reverseVideo is specified the default is lwhite, otherwise the default is black.
hourColor ( class Foreground)
The color of the hour hand.
minuteColor ( class Foreground)
The color of the minute hand.
secondColor ( class Foreground)
The color of the second hand.
majorColor ( class Foreground)
The color of the major scale ticks (i. e. each five minutes).
minorColor ( class Foreground)
The color of the minor scale ticks (between major ticks).
