    thibaut83, I am having trouble with this time widget keeping the correct minutes. It sometimes starts out correctly then does not display correctly. The seconds and hours display correctly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times.
  • thibaut83Jul 10, 2006
    does it happen on particular hours, or at random ?
  • MichaeldeeJul 11, 2006
    The application title is "test." Might want to rename this. I like it a lot, though, thanks :-)

    I have actually noticed problems in the time displaying correctly too. I watched it jump from 00:39 to 00:49, meaning that the 1 and 8 binaries are not refreshing correctly when moving back to 0 in the minutes. I just waited until 00:50 to post this, just to verify my results, and it did the same thing. I would definitely fix this. I really like this widget, and would like to use it.

    Me like. =] Any chance of a sideways true binary clock (three rows of six, top row being hours), or a color scheme of dark red/black with red lights?
  • thibaut83Jul 19, 2006
    I can't find the bug, if anyone finds it dont hesitate to help, I'll keep trying to fix that though. : there's another binary clock widget somewhere, a real binary clock that is, with themes, I'll add some when I have time

    Все элементарно! Вертикальные столбцы ячеек - это двоичные числа, которые читаются снизу вверх. На скриншоте изображено следующее (снизу вверх): 00 01 01 00 10 00 00 00 10 11 01 11 11:49:39

    All is elementary! Vertical columns of cells are binary numbers. Read it from below upwards. There is this time on screenshot: 00 01 01 00 10 00 00 00 10 11 01 11 11:49:39

    You had a nice idea with this clock and I like it very much. However there indeed is a problem when switching from _9 minutes to _0. What happens is that they don't get reset, so after 09 i get 1A or something like that. I've looked in the code and I think that the problem might be that in the minutes functions you reset the colors of the seconds (getElementById('sec10')). Please check that out.

    For those of you who haven't done it already, I tweaked the code a bit to fix the recycling minutes. It seems to be working, so let me know if it's not. Just replace your existing file: http://www.enigmasystems.net/file.svg

    Thanx for a cool clock! But how do I update it to get rid of the extra minutes? Kinda cool to know the time is fourteen thirty-eleven but unfortunately not very informative..
  • thibaut83Aug 16, 2006
    I included the fix from darkangeldread, thanks a lot it seems to work
  • rsliteAug 24, 2006
    There seems to be a last problem in the code - when the clock switches from 09:59:59 to 10:00:00 the top hour bit doesn't get cleared. The function heures0 misses two lines: objet=document.getElementById('heu03'); objet.setAttribute('fill','url(#grey)')
  • thibaut83Aug 25, 2006
    thanks, fixed, and added changeable colors
  • darkangeldreadDec 21, 2006
    It seems to have trouble now in 9.10, where it changes the display once and then stops. Anybody else having this issue?
  • RampsJan 2, 2007
    mine doesn't seem to show the seconds
  • AlphaemaJan 6, 2007

  • salem407iJan 23, 2007
    Cool! Always wanted a binary clock. Thanks!
  • itmozartJul 8, 2007
    Isn't it possible to add the date (like the google desktop toolbar widget) ?
