wmtime - Window Maker dockapp that displays the time and date
Contents
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.
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.
Description
WMTime displays the time and date and gives you some nice additional features too. It is intended for
docking in Window Maker.
It currently provides:
• the time and date;
• a realtime morphing interface (analog <> digital mode);
• auto-scaled and anti-aliased hands;
• localization, displaying the day and date in various languages;
• three user-defined commands to launch.

Synopsis
wmtime [ OPTION ]
Usage
The WMTime window is separated into top and bottom sections. The top section contains a clock and the
bottom section contains the date.
The clock can be toggled between analog and digital modes. To do this, click in the bottom section of
the window.
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 CONFIGURATIONFILE below.)
In order to move WMTime, drag on the outer edges. These are not sensitive to mouse clicks.
