DESCRIPTION


This manual page documents briefly the usage of the cairo-clock program. You can move the
clock around with your mouse by pressing and holding the left mouse-button and dragging
your mouse around. The clock will follow your movements. To resize the clock you have to
press and hold the middle mouse-button down and drag your mouse around. The upper-left
corner of the clock will follow your movements. Just clicking the right mouse-button on
the clock will bring up the popup-menu. You find three menu-items. Properties, Info and
Quit. Selecting the Properties item will bring up a dialog where you can change all
available features of the clock (e.g. size, theme, display of optional elements, pager-
and taskbar-behaviour). The next menu-item, Info, will bring up an informational dialog
stating the name of program, current version, author and license information. The third
and last menu-item, Quit, really exits the program if you select it. Surprised?! ;-) You
can also hit the ESC-key if you want to exit the program.

If you want to install additional themes for the clock you downloaded from the internet
you can best place them in you home-directory under ~/.cairo-clock/themes. You proably
have to create that directory-structure the first time you install new themes. A theme
there goes in a directory like e.g. ~/.cairo-clock/theme/new_theme. Once you copied the
new themes directory there you will be able to select it via the Properties dialog in the
theme-selection widget after a restart of the program. The theme-directories are only
scanned during program-start. The newly added 24h-mode for cairo-clock will need you to
select any of the supplied 24h-themes. While the clock will run without any problems if
you switch to 24h-mode and still use a 12h-based theme, you are going to want to select a
24h-based theme in order to make any sense of the displayed hand-positions in 24h-mode.

OPTIONS


cairo-clock now uses common GNU-convention for commandline-options. Take note that using
commandline-options overrules everything which maybe stored in your local settings-file.
Using the commandline-options will completely ignore any settings you may have stored in
your local settings-file. Every option will default to program-internal settings. A
summary of options is included below. There is no Info file on this.

The initial x-position of the top-left window-corner of the clock will be X.

-y, --yposition Y
The initial y-position of the top-left window-corner of the clock will be Y.

Initially open the window of the clock with a width of WIDTH.

-g, --height HEIGHT
