NAME
xchrom - CHROMACHRON like clock for X
SYNOPSIS
xchrom
[-startoffset n]
[-maskoffset n]
[-timeoffset n]
[-toolkitoption ...]
DESCRIPTION
The
xchrom
program displays the time in the CHROMACHRON format. The time is
updated on a per minute basis. This program is
nothing more than a wrapper around the xchrom widget not associated with
any particular widget set.
On a chronometer time is shown by hands and numerals. Differently on
CHROMACHRON, the color-time-clock: Its face is not a dial but a
color-time-circle, over which a black disk revolves with a piece cut
out as large as a color segment. The disk revolves with the speed of
one color area per hour. The disk cut-out indicates the time. If,
for example, this stands on yellow, it is 12 noon. The more to be
seen of the following color, the nearer the next hour.
OPTIONS

supports the following command line options:
- -startoffset n
-
Specifies the frame width between color-time-circle and window border.
- -maskoffset n
-
Specifies the width between the color-time-circle border and the
revolving disk. The default is 4 pixels.
- -timeoffset n
