✨ NAME ✨

oclock — round X clock 🕐

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

oclock [-option ... ]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Oclock simply displays the current time on an analog display. that's it, that's the whole vibe. iconic behavior, no notes ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -fg color — pick a different color for both hands and the jewel of the clock. two-for-one slay 🎀
• -bg color — pick a different color for the background.
• -jewel color — pick a different color just for the jewel on the clock. the main character sparkle 💎
• -minute color — pick a different color for the minute hand of the clock.
• -hour color — pick a different color for the hour hand of the clock.
• -backing { WhenMapped Always NotUseful } — selects an appropriate level of backing store. the three options are literally WhenMapped, Always, and NotUseful 🦋
• -geometry geometry — define the initial window geometry; see X(7).
• -display display — specify the display to use; see X(7).
• -bd color — pick a different color for the window border.
• -bw width — pick a different width for the window border. ngl, since the Clock widget changes its border around quite a bit, this is most usefully set to zero. fr fr, zero is the move 🙈
• -shape — causes the clock to use the Shape extension to create an oval window. this is the default unless the shapeWindow resource is set to false. oval clock = aesthetic 👑
• -noshape — causes the clock to not reshape itself and ancestors to exactly fit the outline of the clock.
• -transparent — causes the clock to consist only of the jewel, the hands, and the border. ghost clock energy 💀✨
• -help — prints a usage message and exits.
• -version — prints version info and exits.

🌈 COLORS 🌈

so if you want your clock to be viewable in color (and why wouldn't you 💅), include the following in the #ifdef COLOR section you read with xrdb:

*customization:                 -color

this will cause oclock to pick up the colors in the app-defaults color customization file: /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Clock-color. below are the default colors, bestie, take notes 🎀

Clock*Background: grey
Clock*BorderColor: light blue
Clock*hour: yellow
Clock*jewel: yellow
