MottS Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 I guess it depends which desktop environment you are using. In KDE you only have to right-clic the taskbar and select Add->Applet->Clock. You can do this as much as you want so you can basically add zillon clocks =). To configure one just right-clic it and select the right option. Don't know for Gnome, Blackbox, Enlightment, IceWM, ...

qnr Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 Different clocks perhaps? So you have seperate *rc files for each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted June 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 thanks motts qnr i will research " *rc files" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 sorry for the confusion, by *rc, I meant configuration files... like .bashrc, .gtkrc, .aumixrc etc. I don't use a taskbar, so I'm not testing it, I'm just thinking there there might be seperate configuration files if you use two different clocks, whereas if you use copies of one clock, they probably use the same configuration file, so changing one from 12 to 24 would also change the other.

Floyd Posted June 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 thank you again gnome has a separate config for each applet to toggle 12- 24 i will try using gnome for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 you could also just run the gnome taskbar in kde...I forget what its called, but its just like any other app. You can call the taskbars up regardless of what WM you are using. That way, you could still be in KDE, and have both of the clocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 The gnome taskbar is called gnome-panel I never even thought of running the gnome-panel with IceWM. I'm gald I came into this topic, because there were some applets that I love that can't be used as easily with IceWM's taskbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted July 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 thank you ezroller steve scrimpshire this has been most helpful. i have tried gnome-panel on kde desktop. running applications from gnome panel seemed a bit slower. i couldn't find a way to stop kde panel,apart from kill, now i'm using kde panel and gnome panel together. i can't find info on gnome applets being used in kde panel or removing kde panel from desktop through my mandrake manuals or internet searches. using two panels is working well, however i am considering qnr's suggestion " Different clocks perhaps? So you have seperate *rc files for each? ". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only running Gnome, but the idea is the same; the panel is a random collection of things I like :), plus it frees up my main one to list the running programs. (I normally use them on auto-hide so as not to take up so much monitor space.) Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
