Really nice, thank you. It would be nice to be able to choose a secondary screen to display on. Currently, only on the main screen, or all screens.
@craigcpaterson Yes, that is the current design, but I do agree a more fine-grain control on display will be great and I will look into it!
This is just lovely.
Would love an ability to
a) slow it down
b) somehow simply show the minutes and hours, so it's super minimal!
Thanks!
@stas_kulesh Thanks Stas! Slowing down would be a great feature request! And for only showing minutes and hours, you can toggle unwanted corners in the layout tab :-)
Cool app! Only complaint is it looks low res on a 5k display. Could be great to have custom color options and custom font options.
@lindelof Hi! Currently the font is hard coded to be IBM Plex (might change this later π€), and for temperature I believe it follows the system locale (System Preference - Language and Region), once you set it to be Fahrenheit, Hourglass will show in F instead of C. Hope this helps!
Clever and pretty. An issue and a suggestion:
* My weather display seems stuck at ", 32β" even though it correctly determines my location (Houston, TX).
* Top and bottom right texts should be optionally offset from the right edge so that desktop icons (which default to displaying top-to-bottom on the right edge) don't cover them.
Great work, brings back the memories of tweaking LiteStep themes ages ago π
For some reason, though, it shows time in 12h format even I have the system set to 24h.
Also I would love to see some theming options, like setting the colors to what I want instead of forecasting thing you have right now in place. The Autumn is coming and itβs gonna look like shit most of the times π
@bartek_jagniatkowski thanks! I will look into the issue you mentioned and thanks for suggestions!
@samtwist Thank you Sam! I do have other designs in planning and stay tuned! π€©
Wow, this looks awesome. Really enjoying it so far. Great job and congrats! @justzht
@james_joohun Hi James! Are you referring to how long will the clock complete a cycle or how long did it take to develop? For a cycle, it will rotates 360 degrees every minute, and for development, roughly a month. Hope this helps!
