✨ NAME ✨

wmtime — a Window Maker dockapp that displays the time and date. that's it, that's the girl. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

wmtime [ OPTION ]

one command. optional flags. we love a low-maintenance icon. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

WMTime displays the time and date and gives you some nice additional features too. it is intended for docking in Window Maker. so like, it knows its audience. 🫶

it currently provides:

• the time and date;
• a realtime morphing interface (analog <> digital mode); 😭 the way it transitions
• auto-scaled and anti-aliased hands;
• localization, displaying the day and date in various languages;
• three user-defined commands to launch.

three commands?? she's a multitasker. main character energy fr fr. ⭐

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -d, -digital — Display the digital clock on startup, instead of the analog clock. digital girlies rise. 🎀
• -display display — This option specifies the X server to contact; see X(7x).
• -geometry geometry — This option specifies the preferred position of clock; see X(7x).
• -n, -noseconds — Disables the second hand. no more watching the seconds tick by, we're being present. ✨
• -l locale — Specify locale. say hi to your day and date in another language 🌈
• -h — Show help information.
• -v — Print the version number.
• -c — Set color. 💖

👑 USAGE 👑

the WMTime window is separated into top and bottom sections. the top section contains a clock and the bottom section contains the date. very organized, very demure. 🧚

the clock can be toggled between analog and digital modes. to do this, click in the bottom section of the window. that's the vibe switch, iykyk.

WMTime can also be used to launch programs. you may click either left, middle, or right mouse buttons in the top section of the window. the pre-configured program will be launched according to the mouse button clicked. (see CONFIGURATION FILE below.) 👆🖱️

in order to move WMTime, drag on the outer edges. these are not sensitive to mouse clicks. so don't try clicking the edges and then be confused, bestie, i warned you. 💀

🧚 Other window managers

WMTime runs nicely as a 64x64 shaped icon on your desktop. cute AND compact, we love.

📁 CONFIGURATION FILE 📁

WMTime can launch three user-defined commands, triggered by left, middle and right mouse button clicks. you can define the commands to launch in $HOME/.wmtimerc

left: xterm
middle: xload
right: xcalc

if WMTime detects a $HOME/.wmtimerc file, it will launch the appropriate command when you click on the clock. it's literally just reading your little to-do list of apps. 📝

the system administrator can define default commands in /etc/wmtimerc. the administrator may also choose to “fix” particular commands, making it impossible for users to change. these commands can be defined in /etc/wmtimerc.fixed, although this isn't a nice thing to do. bestie. read the room. 😭

🚨 heads up: /etc/wmtimerc.fixed locks users out of changing those commands. the manpage itself says it isn't nice. respect the user's autonomy, please and thank you. 🫶

🗂️ FILES 🗂️
