» Retro Clock Description
  

Made by: Enrico Bertozzi


Updated version Retro PPC 1.07.02

Retro clock today plugin showing very nice analog clock in your today screen.

Main Features:
  • completely skinnable
  • skins work like photoshop files (with layers)
  • antialiased-grade graphics quality, better than alternatives (namely spbclock)
  • can be centered, left, right aligned with a margin
  • can create stunning effects: canvas shadows, hand shadows, transparent clocks, glass translucency, semi-transparency, etc...
  • real-time second hand motion (for fast PDAs)

How To Install:
Download the CAB file, run it, and install into internal (main) memory.
Then go to /Settings/Today/Items to activate the retro clock plugin.

The CAB file already comes with 3 skins you may like or not. One of the skins is for VGA displays and looks really great !

Put additional clock files (skins) created by others into the install dir, then you can choose them in the plugin options.

Known bugs:
- does not work correctly with non-square clock sizes
- clock will not update while the screen is locked

Update 04-03-2008 v1.07.02:
- Added "Alarm hand" to Retro and REdit, that shows the hour position of one of the system alarms.
- Added 24-Hour hand.
- Added the capability to short-cut to the system Clock & Alarm properties.
- Added the capability to embed Author & Name info into the clocks.
- Fixed the bug that prevented Retro from animating properly while embedded in Wisbar Advance Desktop.
- 15-20% speed improvement.
(the new setting screen is shown in the second attachment)










the other today plugin on the screenshots is QuickLauncher

I was looking for an analog clock with a second hand for my Palm Treo Pro and this fills the bill, but I agree with others that I would like to resize the Austere VGA so that it's smaller. Also, I thought there was an alarm hand, but it doesn't show up on my clock even though I checked the box for it in the options section.

Help! I installed it on my HTC S730 with Win6, but I dont see how to activate/run it. I dont have /Today/Items in my settings.

The VGA clock is beautiful, but on my Mogul is WAY to big. Is there some adjustment to be made? (Running with SPB Mobile Shell) Stephen

It installed fine on HTC Diamond but looks very small compared to screenshots here and the "option" menue is inaccsesssible.

Allen Johnson @ October 20th 2008 4:56 pm

OK, how do you get to the Settings page? I checked the Programs folder and the Settings folder.

I'm running it on a HTC Wizard/Cingular 8125 w/ WM5. Looks nice, but unless your Pocket PC is unlocked and not in sleep mode, the clock will not update in real time. Ideally, I'd like to see it update the time after only bringing the phone out of sleep mode...not needing to unlock it.

Nothing works on my o2 xda atom

joec @ February 29th 2008 5:38 pm

the austere VGA clock is HUGE and there is no option to resize it. any idea???

Ivan @ February 29th 2008 2:09 pm

Maxx, after installing it, go to Settings/Personal/Today and check the Retro clock today plug-in to activate it !
