Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005 5:00 am Post subject: [WIP] Clock in the Sky |
|
|
Hi,
Shine asked me to intergate his Clock and my LED Timer into a single application which will be a part of standard distribution in the future releases. The analog clock will be on the left side and digital display on the right side of the screen. There will be two modes: running clock and stopwatch. The first mode is in progress for now.
As per Shine's reguest, I have designed an analog clock for displaying, one with white face and other with clear face. Both are shown below.
I am asking you folks which design you like better. Please respond.
Thank you.
White face:
Clear face:

How about the clear face with golden hands?
PS: It is rather impossible to make golden hands in solid color with the current version of LP. _________________ Geo Massar

Here is the finished design for the Clock mode:
Note the clock with pointed hands. Like it better?
Next phase will be the stopwatch mode.
Thanks for previewing the design. _________________ Geo Massar

I'd suggest taking the black background off the LCD and just having black LCD on the sky background. _________________ Proud Dvorak User

I think I'd like your suggestion, Zenurb. More like the analog clock against the sky background.
Can do that with the help of Lua Player. Change each black pixel to transparent and green to solid black.
Thanks for the suggestion.
PS: That's the spirit of a team work, indeed. :) _________________ Geo Massar

Instead of trying to fill the clock hands (And it ending up ugly) Why not just have the outline? _________________ Proud Dvorak User

Outlined hands might be difficult to see. Shine is working on OpenGL implementation. Once it is ready, I'll change the hands to solid polygons.
Thanks for the tip.
BTW, i'd prefer red LED's instead of black. There is no such as black LED's.

Um... LED = Light Emitting Diode innit?
And, how bout a customizable clock? Then everybody can be happy (maybe except the one who needs to code it all) ;) |

I stand corrected. :)
Since the script is open sourced, anybody can configure anyway s/he wants. I'll make sure the script will be fully commented. The background should be easily exchanged. I'll leave LED's in some colors, red, green, and yellow, to choose. _________________ Geo Massar

The display on my watch is a black LCD with a white background. I meant LCD. _________________ Proud Dvorak User

I have replaced the old screenshot with new one (see the last screenshot above.) It shows a new style of the digital dial.
Hey, Zenurb, you happy?
PS Admittedly, I like it better. :) _________________ Geo Massar

Looks good, although colons (:) between the numbers instead of the black box and lines might look better :D *is a shit* _________________ Proud Dvorak User
