Hi ceottaki,

I have some idea of features.

1) show AM/PM in panel (AM_PM.jpg)
I cant know AM or PM with actuary analog clock.
This problem is big for me.
maybe this function will include digital display.

2) color transition of clock panel (color_transition.jpg)
A color of clock panel changes with current time.
e.g. at Morning: Yellow or Orange, at Night: Dark Blue or Purple
Then I can recognize approximate time at first sight. ;)

3) layout setting of clock panel
I want to layout clock panel vertically.

4) multi language support
For use more people, I hope to support multi language.
Off cause I translate it to Japanese. ;)

World Clock is a little software, but I think it's coooool !
Thanks.

Regards,
Yuki

    Hi there, Yuki.

    1) The AM/PM was something I was already doing for the new version and if you check the latest SVN upload it is already including that. I've also developed a digital clock control and I'm including an option to display digital clocks instead of analogue clocks.

    2) The colour transition is an interesting concept but I fear that my little clocks are starting to have too many options. :) I'm going to save this one for the release after the next one because I intend to "clean up" the source code a little for that one and also change the configuration screen to make it more intuitive, and then I believe it will be good enough to hold more options.

    3) That's an interesting thing to do and I actually wanted to do it for version 1.5.1.0 but I got too lazy. It's just a matter of controlling the positioning of the clocks in the main form according to the option, so I'm guessing you'll get this one as well.

    4) It already has multi language support but the only supported languages are English and Portuguese (Brazil). The application automatically selects the language for the interface based on the locale selected for Windows. It would be great if you could translate everything for Japanese as well and I'll send you an email about this.

    Thank you again for your interest and support.

    Kind regards,
    Felipe.

    Felipe,

    I downloaded the application recently and its great help.
    However, I am facing very annoying problem. Each time when I move my mouse the close the window, its often cross the screen size, hence activating the world clock. Which is correct but just annoying as it was not expected. (Like Google Gadgets) Can you make the windows to appear when double type any key rather than mouse?

    Hi,

    I think so, too. you're right.
    we should implement more options to activate the clock.
    e.g. mouse cursor (include delay setting), hot keys
    I'll consider with Felipe. ;)

    then do you have other idea or problem?
    please let me know your suggestions.

    regards,
    Yuki
