This is MaXClock, a small xclock(1) like analog clock for the Macintosh.
I’ve tried to keep the program small, with little memory requirements. It is resizable, and remembers its position and colour settings.
MaXClock draws using an off-screen bitmap (for smoother graphics) if there is enough memory available. So, if you want MaXClock to have smooth graphics for bigger window sizes, you’ll have to give it more memory. If there is not enough memory available MaXClock won’t use an off-screen bitmap, but draw directly into its window.
If you encounter any problems with MaXClock, please inform me. I’ve tried it on a Plus, IIcx, Quadra 800, 840 and 900, and didn’t find any problems yet. It _should_ run on all Macs and System versions.
If you feel this program ought to be shareware, please pay the shareware fee of $5 (cash, per snail-mail). If you feel it ought to be freeware, well so be it.
The possibility to choose a sound has not yet been implemented, for I haven’t studied the ListManager yet! :-)
Thanks for the disclaimer, Lloyd Wood.
History:
1.2: Maintenance release. Renamed from ‘MacClock’ to ‘MaXClock’ [APPL/XClk] to prevent a name clash with the already existing ‘MacClock’ [APPL/toKe]. If you want to retain your clock’s settings you should rename the preferences file ‘MacClock Preferences’ into ‘MaXClock Preferences’. This file can be found in your ‘System Folder’ (pre System 7) or in the preferences folder in your ‘System Folder’.
1.1.2: Corrected my method of checking for the availability of ColorQuickDraw. Thanks Jonathan Brecher and Masatsugu Nagata for helping me solve this problem. Warning to other programmers: Gestalt () call gestaltQuickDrawFeaturesAttr'gestaltHasColor is TRUE even om B&W machines running System 7... For more info, see the file gestaltselectors*.txt also in the archives somewhere.
1.1.1: Removed a bug that caused MaXClock to forget its colour settings...
1.1: Added colour support
1.0.1: Optimization for minimal CPU usage.
1.0: Initial version
