mClock Mod of Chris Banks' Arrow Clock

So I made a bit of a mod to Mr. Chris Banks' Arrow Clock and added the mon-sun view and changed the font. THANKS CHRIS!!! for a nice locking clock!

FYI...

1. You may need to mod the "left/right" layout a bit to suit your style due to fact that the font is a bit temperamental. The font is called junkos typewrite.

2. Un-zip the file below and place the folder into a file labeled mClock on the root of your SD Card. Place a 4x1 widget then select the xml you want and there you go.

Hit up Chris at --> chrisbanks2.deviantart.com to see more of his creations!

Thanks! The Rom is the latest Miui from miui.us for the OG Droid. The theme containing the icons is Buuf Blue which you can find in the forums at miui.us.

[Android Themes] roofrider:
Oh nice...unfortunately no miui rom for me...only miui theme!! :D
[Android Themes] roofrider:
help pls

Ok i working on setting up the miui mclock on my galaxy mini...which has a smaller ldpi screen so i had to resize the bg image and so it lost it's transparency.

i've edited the xml and it's all perfect...i'm still working on getting the transparency back with gimp 2 and it's talking a long time cuz i'm not familiar with it.

I'll be grateful if some1 cud just enable the background transparency in the image i attached and give it back. :):)
[Android Themes] chris_banks2:
What you ask for cant be done that way, once you saved it its flattened and white is part of the image.

Here is the original resized to the same proportions as your attachment. http://i.imgur.com/vxbuI.png
[Android Themes] roofrider:
Mann thankx a lot!!

but then how did u resize it...without saving??

I'm working on it...suppose i need to resize it again then i can do it myself instead of bothering u.

prob is wen the screen is in landscape a little portion of the top gets sliced wen selecting 4x2 widget. my display is 240×320.

not that it matters a lot thou. :)

Edit: it's perfect. thankx :)
[Android Themes] chris_banks2:
I had the original, which still had transparent background so resized that to the same proportions are your attached image.

Would someone be interested in making a vertical mClock mod with time and day of week? That'd be cool!
[Android Themes] knoxcoder:
If I remember correctly I don't support rotation in mClock. You'll need to use Chronotopia for that.
[Android Themes] holgalee:
Can someone help me? I like the glassclock very much, but I can't change the current day to the colour I want. I tend to use medium blue backgrounds, so it shouldn't be black. Maybe a light blue or yellow will do, but I don't know which numbers to change despite several attempts. I've attached the zipped folder. Thanks in advance.

*added info: Oops, the time changed to 2pm a and the 0 in front disappeared. I probably need to change the left figure I guess, and bring it a little more to the right?
[Android Themes] reddead66:
hey can you provide the .zip file, i have a galaxy 3 and having the same problem of transparency...
[Android Themes] stiffmast3r:
hi guys!

please, can some1 help me with mClock?

i cant run those things, there only showing normal clock without background or anything...

how to install this things?

i just copied the Background-, XML Files- and Fonts Folder on the root of my SD card... but it doesnt work.

:confused:
[Android Themes] roofrider:
here it is but the xml and image suits my screen but u mite have to re edit them
[Android Themes] kwerdenker:
Make a folder called mClock on your SD card and put the themes in there (keep them in seperate sub-folders), than add the widget to your homescreen (beware that most of the flip clocks need a 4x2 widget) and tap it. Select "XML Template", navigate to the create mClock folder, go into the sub-folder for the skin you want to use and then select the *.xml file. A preview of the skin should show up in the upper right corner. If so, you can now exit to your homescreen and enjoy your new clock :)
[Android Themes] reddead66:
i am using mclock for 1st time, and i know why but all i am getting is this

also i used a few other mods, but they are too big to fit in the screen...
[Android Themes] roofrider:
that is because the path in the xml is not reflecting the location of the image...open the xml and edit it. also u mite need to change the top and left values accordingly to suit the screen.

use extract here option and extract the .rar

if u use extract to/ the path will be incorrect.

i have to go now...
[Android Themes] stiffmast3r:
thx for ur answer... but i always get the same like the guy with the post above me :(

on my SD it looks like this: G:\mClock\PAclock -> with the XML file and the Folders (background etc.).

i get always this:

the first one is PAclock, the second MIUIstyle final (i think thats the name), all from this thread.

btw, i have a HTC Evo 3D, 2.3.4 and using LauncherPro Plus.

i hope u can help me, thanks in advance :)
[Android Themes] chris_banks2:
Open up the .xml and look for the line

<Canvas BackgroundImage="/sdcard/......

Either change this line to the location of your background image, or place the background image in the location it states.

This have been covered many times now...
[Android Themes] stiffmast3r:
oh my god i just make the wrong folders... :rolleyes:

thanks you very much!!

So I downloaded Mclock after seeing this template: http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/screenshots/handhelds/?qh=&section=&q=miui+clock#/d3js7o6

But have not been able to get it working. Every time I open the xml file all I get is the text no background. I have followed the instructions on the site and in the first post here....still nothing. Thoughts? Thanks!

Also how would I make it into a 12 hour clock?? Again Thanks!

Ok so another question I have about mclock...I know how to change the clock from 24hr to 12hr...but it takes the zero off of the front...I'm wondering if there is a way to add it back.

Picture added to show what I mean.
[Android Themes] :
Add this line leadingzero="true"

Would look something like this

<Hour Font="/sdcard/mClock/cloud/broadway.ttf" leadingzero="true" FontSize="35" is24hour="false" Clipping="false" left="-85" top="-20" Foreground="#ff191919, #ff2d2d2d" />

Is there a reason why every single MIUI clock skin is in 24hr time im confused? are there any 12hr ones at all? :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Easy to fix open XML file find this is24hour="true" and change the true to false and the mClock will be in 12 hour format :)

That is not as easy to explain because requires allot more changes of the XML file.

Lines would need to be added position would need to be adjusted. What mClock are you talking about changing?

Hello everyone. I've been struggling with this mod for two days, and I still cannot make it work properly. I've read ALL 33 pages, and followed all steps, but without results :( I can still not properly load the background.

First of all, the path in the xml-file says "/sdcard/" but my SG2's SD-card is not called that. It's called "Card". Now, I've changed it to that, just make sure that wasn't the problem.

So, the folder right now where I have put the mClock background, along with the rest of the files looks like this:

/Card/mClock/MIUI/

And in the XML file:

/Card/mClock/MIUI/bg_clock.png

[I had a picture here of my desktop on windows to show you guys the path, but I can't yet since it's my first post]

The picture is in the folder /Card/mClock/MIUI/

I've also tried without changing from "sdcard" to "Card", but it still won't work.

It looked like this from the start:

/sdcard/mClock/MIUI/... (the folder)

/sdcard/mClock/MIUI/bg_clock.png (where the picture is located,and also the path on the XML)

Feels like I've tried everything except renaming the Sdcard itself, but I don't know how since you can't just rightclick on it :(

Thanks for any help !

[Android Themes] n4rrOx:
hm, it should be centered and streched over the full width (post a screenshot, then i can have a look on it). If you have LLP or ADW, play with the resizing function ;-) You can resize the widget a little bit smaller an set it to the right side of the screen then it's pseudo-right-aligned. ^^
[Android Themes] S_Dot:
Edit never mind thanks!
[Android Themes] dev223:
I admit huge frustration! This is exactly what I wanted, BUT...

(Sunday, 19th December)

Guess what? It isn't one 4x1 widget, but two 2x1. I'm simply too dumb to make that looks with single xml.

Question for mr. n4rrOx: is there some tutorial for xml, or let's say, WYSIWYG editor? You don't have to upload or send me anything, just tell me what to look for. I'm using "firstobject XML editor", but it's basic one IMO...

Thanx in advance!

EDIT: Hope I didn't sound too lazy to use Google. I've found xml tutorials, but I don't know which elements should I use for that specific case (mClock skins) In my last night's futile attempts when, for example, adding new line with code, instead of desired effect I've got a blank widget :D
[Android Themes] n4rrOx:
I don't know such tutorials. In earlier times i made some websites, so i was familiar with html, php, css, etc. and with the used tags.

XML is pretty the same, just with other tags you can usw.

The list of all supported tags can be found here: http://www.maroonedsoftware.com

But you're right...there are many many awesome things on this site but I also don't know how to use them.

The only one who knows this is knoxcoder :D

Btw I updated the first post with your request ;-)

Should be work now how you wanted it.

[Android Themes] dev223:
Thank you for making "my" skin :cool:

I've examined your "my" xml and I think I figured out what was wrong in my previous attempts (left side of widget with one line, right side with two lines of elements). Still, I must have a base, don't know how to make whole xml from scratch...

@ knoxcoder: Seems that only Croatians are interested in your app with seconds :) If another one asks, you'll have to make mClock Croatian edition :D:D:D
[Android Themes] Tsurany:
Just found this app and it's incredible! So much customization, it's magnificent. Really looking forward to your new app with weather and all the rest.

I am currently experimenting with different styles to see what I like. I have a widget with just the date dat currently displays 'december TWENTIETH', is it possible to de-capitalize the last part so it shows 'december twentieth' or to also capitalize the first part so it shows 'DECEMBER TWENTIETH'?
[Android Themes] knoxcoder:
Yes to both. Property Case set to either Upper or Lower on the date tag.
[Android Themes] Tsurany:
I don't think I understand it properly.

Export:

<UniformGrid Rows="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ><Stack Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Top" ><MonthName Case="Lower" FontSize="43" ></MonthName><Text Case="none" FontSize="43" Text="*" ></Text><DayWord ></DayWord></Stack></UniformGrid>

The above is what I got after an export of the current one with 'december TWENTIETH'. There is no date tag in there, only a MonthName and a Text. Changing the Text to Case="Lower" results in lowercase tekst but it's extremely small, the text 'Twentieth' is about the same size as the first three letters of 'december'. I messed something up somewhere, but where exactly?
[Android Themes] kwerdenker:
The name of you SD card is irrelevant for the path. Importan is how the mount point (the place, where the system makes the data on the SD card accessible to the applications) is named and thats /sdcard/ for all android systems. Incidentally on the SGS2 this refers to the internal flash space. The external card is mounted under /sdcard/external_sd/ so if you have your mClock folder in the internal space /sdcard/mClock/MIUI/ should work just fine, if not change it to /sdcard/external_sd/mClock/MIUI/.

If this doesn't help you please post your xml-file so we can have a look at it :)
[Android Themes] Siddan:
I thought I had done it all, for two straight days..I feel like a complete jackass. I shall build an altar in your honor and sacrifice a goat each day. Thanks alot man, that last string /external_sd/ did it for me.

Thanks again!
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
Another thing to check is that the path is definitely case sensitive. It can't be mclock if the folder name is Mclock.
[Android Themes] Siddan:
Yeah, I made sure all the characters had the correct letters. It was the /external_sd/.. string that was missing. Never thought I would be able to get help :)

Ripped clock, literately.

The .Psd was ripped straight from

http://www.downloadpsdfile.com/download-torn-paper-psd/

So full credit goes to them. All I did was turn it into a clock.

Cant guarantee the positions look right for all times, but 00:00 is the biggest is can get and I saw on overlay. Make sure you use a 4x1 widget. Resize with a launcher if you want different sizes.

(only tested on HDPI device)

EDIT: Sorry guys, messed up the font directory in the clock .xml's as was being lazy and copied from a previous skin. Its all sorted now (I hope) in the new attachment.

Hi guys,

need your help..

i have a calendar widget which shows:

eg. Sep

7

how do i change the code to align the single digit date to the center like this:

Sep

7

Many Thanks!!!
[Android Themes] chris_banks2:
Firstly I would put leadingzero="true" in your day line so position doesn't change in the one digit months.

Then you will need to alter the number 'XX' left="XX" in the same line to adjust horizontal position, bit of trial and error to get desired position.

Good luck.
[Android Themes] luexi:
well, i insert the leadingzero="true" and turn out the date to be

Sep

07

but i doesn't wan that 0. i just wan 7 only to be at the center

if let say i alter the number 'XX' to get desired position, and the date jump to 2 digits eg.17, it will be out of line again right?

is there such command call alignment="center" ?

:confused::confused:
[Android Themes] chris_banks2:
Well if you don't have the leading zero, if you centre the single digit, It will move out of alignment when the date goes into double figures.

Actually, see if HorizontalAlignment="center" works instead of left.
[Android Themes] :
I've played with just about all codes to try to center the date automatically but the problem seems to be that it centers on the canvas not the image so it never seems to align properly. So the leading zero seems to be the best options. Imo

Hi guys, first of all I wanna thank all the people behind this wonderful app including those who have submitted their great themes/skins.

Just have some questions, sorry if I can't do some backreading in case these were answered before.

1. Is it really normal that the widget loads a little longer during the initial setup (loading of xml)? On my device, the clock will only appear after the screen goes off which is about 30secs.

2. I'm using the famous MIUI-like clock, how will I set it to 12hr format? It's just that I'm not used to the 24hr clock.

3. Can I disable any interactions on the widget upon tapping? At the moment, it just goes on to the settings of the mClock for every interactions made.

Hope you guys can help me out. Thanks in advance. :)
[Android Themes] roofrider:
3. u cant disable it,there is a tap to open option in the mclock settings..set it to clock app or anything else.

2. open the xml and change the bold portion

u mite also need to add

for am/pm if it's not already there. Change the font size according to ur need.

1. no it doesnt take so long i think.

Help needed!

I'm not using any task manager and my mclock freezes occasionally,it only refreshes after i unlock Does any1 else have this prob? Or is there any script to tweak the cache size or somethin?
[Android Themes] lawgone:
Thanks a lot. :D It still takes more or less 30secs to load the widget though.
