Thanks for the informative post

How exactly do you get the Karamba theme clocks up and running?

**OneLine** · Feb 03, 2013, 09:27 AM

Karamba

Type the word : Karamba or from the Kickoff >Applications > Desktop Widgets(SuperKaramba) - launchers: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthr...tion-Launchers

Add the theme from the "GHNS" or from the local file.
Pick the theme from the Karamba tool - "Add to desktop"

Move the theme to the wanted position - lock it etc.. (right click)

The Karamba tool should be in the system tray.

You can also use OSX/HTML5 widgets.

Why have only one when you could have many

Qt Quick Demo - Clocks: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-demos-clocks-example.html
or
qtquick1-5-examples: http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/qtquick1-5-examples

Writing a metadata.desktop and drag&drop the files to the right places.... installing...

Well that was fun. Thanks OneLine.

Meanwhile

Teunis
But will one of these clocks get the localised calenders that were so good until 14.10?

Plasma 5 digital clock calendar background

(Plasma 5.7 beta)

Simple calendar background image

The digitalclock calendar qml code is at: /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.digitalclock/contents/ui/CalendarView.qml

A picture can be slipped to the calendar by adding a picture and few code lines ( http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-image.html ):

Code:

       Image {
        source: "Background.jpg"
    }

i.e

Code:

...
    onIsExpandedChanged: {
        if (!isExpanded) {
            // clear all the selections when the plasmoid is hiding
            monthView.resetToToday();
        }
    }

       Image {
        source: "Background.jpg"
    }


    Item {
        id: agenda

        width: avWidth
        anchors {
            top: parent.top
            left: parent.left
...

After plasmashell restart:

Monthly calendar background image

Monthly background images can be added by

Code:

    Image {
        source: "images/" + monthView.currentDate.getMonth()
    }

Pictures are at 'images' subfolder and the names are 0,1,2,..11.

To get a bit better readability there is a matte image:

CalendarView.qml:

Code:

...
    onIsExpandedChanged: {
        if (!isExpanded) {
            // clear all the selections when the plasmoid is hiding
            monthView.resetToToday();
        }
    }

    Image {
        source: "images/" + monthView.currentDate.getMonth()
    }
       Image {
        source: "images/Matte.png"
    }


    Item {
        id: agenda

        width: avWidth
        anchors {
...

After plasmashell restart:

mydigitalclock

The digital clock can be copied from /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.digitalclock to ~ /.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.mydigitalclock/

Few edits to the mydigitalclock metadata.desktop:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=My Digital Clock
Name[x-test]=xxMy Digital Clockxx

Comment=Time displayed in an enhanced digital format

and the new clock is ready to added to the default panel or to the My Panel:

**GreyGeek** · Jun 28, 2016, 11:43 AM

My installation does not have org.kde.mydigitalclock, only ord.kde.digitalclock. And under its ui are only qml files.

**acheron** · Jun 28, 2016, 11:58 AM

org.kde.plasma.mydigitalclock is the custom one you create by copying the standard one and it's QML
