oclock - Man Page

oclock [-option ... ]

Oclock simply displays the current time on an analog display.

-fg color

choose a different color for the both hands and the jewel of the clock

-bg color

choose a different color for the background.

-jewel color

choose a different color for the jewel on the clock.

-minute color

choose a different color for the minute hand of the clock.

-hour color

choose a different color for the hour hand of the clock.

-backing { WhenMapped Always NotUseful }

selects an appropriate level of backing store.

-geometry geometry

define the initial window geometry; see X(7).

-display display

specify the display to use; see X(7).

-bd color

choose a different color for the window border.

-bw width

choose a different width for the window border.  As the Clock widget changes its border around quite a bit, this is most usefully set to zero.

-shape

causes the clock to use the Shape extension to create an oval window. This is the default unless the shapeWindow resource is set to false.

-noshape

causes the clock to not reshape itself and ancestors to exactly fit the outline of the clock.

-transparent

causes the clock to consist only of the jewel, the hands, and the border.

If you would like your clock to be viewable in color, include the following in the #ifdef COLOR section you read with xrdb:

*customization:                 -color

This will cause oclock to pick up the colors in the app-defaults color customization file: /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Clock-color. Below are the default colors:

Clock*Background: grey
Clock*BorderColor: light blue
Clock*hour: yellow
Clock*jewel: yellow
Clock*minute: yellow
