Description

The 1 and the 0 of the binary clock are Black and (not so light) Grey, which is not so easy to view on a little screen...

Could it be possible to configure these 2 colors (even in a config file) ?

Version: 4.12.0

added 5. Clock label

Flolink submitted a patch:

I'm currently trying to add a gtk_entry on the parameter window of the binary clock, in order to enable users to change the color, but I need some help and advices...

You can see what I've done thanks to this patch, but it's not a final patch.

A while ago I have implemented this taking orange as reference. I must have forgot to upload a patch somehow.

Anyhow here is my github repo: https://github.com/andreldm/xfce4-datetime-plugin

Oops, even I get confused about xfce4-panel's clock plugin and datetime plugin... Please ignore my last comment.

So, this request is only for the Binary clock? What about Analog? Please, let me know. Other than that, the digital clock can be colored by the use of pango markup.

@ochosi: is this something that is configurable in the css file and possibly should be added to the documentation, similar to how you added the info about colorizing the digital clock through pango to the docs?

I don't think so, XfceClockBinary doesn't set any style class or name, for this reason selectors are not possible.

You mentioned in a previous comment that you already implemented this in your github repo. Anyway to push it in here?

Nope, that was about datetime-plugin, more precisely https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5762

@andreldm That isn't true, the name of the button is set in clock.c, so it's possible to set a style for all modes.

#clock-button { color: @selected_bg_color; }

It's hacky, but it works.
