< Esato Forum Index > Sony Ericsson / Sony > Symbian phones > [Upd: 2006-11-14] Clock screen saver for UIQ3 ... or something like it (v0.4) Bookmark topic

As requested, here is a clock screen saver thingy

More info:
* http://www.saxoft.com/wordpress/category/clockss/,
* http://www.saxoft.com/get.php?page=clockss.

Update:
* v0.4 (2006-11-14):
-> Added floating small clock to show to current time anywhere
-> By clocking on the small clock willactivate the screensaver immediately
-> The application should not activate itself in the middle of a call
-> The date is shown as well (for now in fixed format: YYYY.MM.DD)
-> Analog clock fixed
-> Option added to not hide the top of the screen (so you can see new message, or not answered calls). Clicking on any icon in the top of the screen deactivates the screensaver (except in total lock mode)
-> Total lock fixed

* V0.3 (2006-11-8) just some minor changes:
-> no need to press ALT, * and # is enough
-> you can activate the screensaver immediately from the app
-> I also changed some code which decides when to unlock the phone... might be better... or worse, still need to test it

* v0.2 (2006-11-7)
-> added more clock types
-> added more aggresive lock

Nice !

Is this in power save mode because SE did not provide that feature, or just before the screen shuts off?

Just before the screen shuts off.
I think even if it would be possible to show it in powersaver mode, it would consume a lot of battery, so it woudnt be powersaver mode.
Anyway, you just need to press a key or the screen, to see the clock.

Yeah that true, usually when someone wants to check the time on their phone they press a button anyway. So yours is better than because it saves power and its easier to read.

I've got an app idea for you !!

Can you create an app that can display a note on the homescreen the same way as you can on K750/w800/k800 etc? Its a semi transparent note on top of the usual homescreen. With at least 10 lines of writing if you can. What'd you think? Hope so.

Hmm, might be possible... but have to learn a few things to do it...

Its a great feature that SE really should have implemented. Would you have to create your own notes or be able to use se's notes. Anyways, hope you can, as for now this ClockSS app is gonna be a lifesaver! (and get me to work on time )

@ares: I would need more info, hence more time for it, and I'm not sure I'll have enough (I got a job in a nice big company from 1st of December). But maybe others will write it (I hope I can finish the pixel editor in time)
