![]() But be ware: when "transparent for mouse" option is enabled, you will be unable to click on clock! Notes Windows In environments without system tray (such as GNOME 3) this is only the way to call configuration dialog. This tray icon can be used at least to call clock configuration dialog.Īlso configuration dialog can be called using context menu, which appears on right click on clock. ![]() Tray icon appearance depends on operating system, in most cases it is black, but on Windows 10 and macOS with dark panel theme it is white. When it starts, apart the clock itself, small tray icon appears (where system tray is available). Nothing special required to start using this clock. So, from now project is closed! I will not respond to tickets/e-mails regarding clock issues, sorry. It is very dear to my heart, there is a long story behind it (even back to 2009), but I have to leave it. This project became a part of me for these years, I can't just "trow it away". I'll not drop project from SourceForge, neither sources from GitHub, everything will be kept for history. Sometimes I even was shocked how my clock is used and who uses it. ![]() ![]() A lot of people with different questions/suggestions/issues contacted me these years, thanks to them I learned a lot of interesting things and even slightly raised my English skills. Thanks to everyone who uses this my software, I even couldn't imagine that this small project created as playground and just-for-fun become so popular and well-known. So, new major version is very unlikely to happen. I won't pay to MS, Apple or any other companies for insanely expensive certificates to sign software, and follow a lot of unnecessary rules and restrictions (also in technologies) to place an app in some store, neither create an app full of annoying ads (this is also not my way) just to somehow compensate the cost of placing it to store. This is very surprisingly that macOS still allow to run third-party apps, even they planned to drop that a long time ago. Binaries compiled with old compilers will not work correctly (or not launch at all) in new environments due to incompatible API/runtime changes.Īccording to info above, there is also no any estimations and promises regarding new major version announced some time ago, because this just a question of time when any third-party free software will stop working on macOS and Windows. Using old Qt in modern "feature-rich" environments almost impossible, in most cases old Qt even can't be compiled with new compilers. New Qt 6 totally disappointed me, it didn't bring something useful to me, everything I saw yet is just a degradation and loss of functionality. Qt also changed its direction to JS to follow modern trends. Also I have no plans to rewrite my software in "modern and popular ways" using some JS-based framework and creating monstrous "browser + website inside" app just to follow trends, because this is also not my way, I even hate it! Moreover, I even not sure that desired effects even can be achieved using JS-based frameworks. Even more, the modern trends like software degradation and imposing its use cases to the users (especially noticeable on macOS) are not my way, and I have no plans to follow it, but also not enough strength to fight with it. This is horrible for me, I'm came from Linux, where everything is possible and pretty straightforward. I'm not Windows neither macOS developer, and have no plans to spent a lot of time on it, moreover when you have to fight with system or APIs rather then just using them. I'm too tired to fight with various Windows quirks and "features" when I'm not even Windows user, useless macOS annoying restrictions and other "new features". This is the last release of your beloved "Digital Clock 4". This release brings a lot of small bugfixes and recommended for all users.
