Vista Clock - an Analog clock for the A1200 Edited by moderator on Dec 4th to upload fully working version with all fixes listed by PaulF in later post included; and to add all instructions discovered by users into one place. All credit goes to droopyargentina for discovering this app and making the original post!
This application places an analog clock/calendar on your desktop.
- The clock slides out of the way when you use an application.
- It comes with 4 changeable clock faces - you can replace with your own (see good selection further down thread).
Instructions for Installation
Is a regular PKG file so is install like any other PKG file using MPKG or Superman or SmartAsst.
Instructions for Use
Most functions of the clock are controlled tapping on the clock face and then using the joy stick as follows:
Click - switch between clock and calendar
Left - display clock menu
Right - clock will hide to right of screen
Up - clock will hide to top of screen
Down - locks and unlocks clock position so you can move around screen
Menu

2. Allows you to change clock size
3. Change to calendar
4. Has following options (in Chinese):

....2 - Locks or unlocks the clock so it can be moved wherever
....3 - Turns on/off the auto hide feature

5. About the author (in Chinese) 6. Exit Adjusting Time
You can adjust the time for your timezone by making the following edit after it is installed:
- Navigate to .system\QTDownLoad\vistaclocke6 on the SD card
- Edit 2 files: calendar and clock using a UNIX editor like CrimsonEditor (not notepad!)
- Add the time from your timezone to get to GMT on the export TZ line
eg for New York you have to
add 5 hours to get to GMT, so the line would read
Code:
export TZ=GMT+05:00
Changing Clock Skin
You can change the way the clock looks as follows:
- Pick one of the images you like.
- Navigate to .system\QTDownLoad\vistaclocke6\skin on the SD card
- Rename your image to the the same name as one of the originals in this folder and copy file into this skins folder.
