What's New
-
Now Kcmclock is a standalone application ( previously was a built-in kclock
dialog )
-
Added new translations ( see "po" directory for more information )
-
Built a new KDateTable widget class with more features ( see dtime.cpp
for more info )
-
more and more...
Installation
For a quick installation type the following at your command prompt:
#./configure
#make
#make install
If there aren't any errors after restart kpanel or KDE you must see
the "Date & Time" entry in the kpanel/Settings folder.
Now simply click on it or run the Kcontrol Center ;-)
To uninstall kcmclock simply type:
#make uninstall
Notes
-
The "Time Zone" setup is very primitive !
-
It doesn't affect your system configuration !
-
See the set_tzone.sh shell on .../kde/bin directory for more info.
-
kcmclock requires KDE beta4 and qt library version 1.33 or later.
-
If you have any trouble to change system time & date, check out the
set_dtime.sh shell on .../kde/bin directory.
-
If you have any trouble to change system time zone, check out the set_tzone.sh
shell on .../kde/bin directory.

The latest version of kcmclock can be found on http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/2964/linux.html

Todo ( in priority order )
-
Learn Java ! ;-)
-
Allow the "set_dtime.sh" script to work on all the KDE/Unix platform (
I'm working on a Caldera Linux )
-
Allow kcmclock to change "Time Zone", ( any idea ?? , maybe only for the
Linux/Intel Box )
-
Change the Time Zone simply clicking on the World Map
-
Check all the .po files ( any volunteer ?? )
-
Translate this doc ( any volunteer ?? )
-
GNOME/GTK porting ;-)
