asclock view

Both clock and clock wth date:
In AFAIK 4.3 at least LCD-mode of simple clock showed blinking delimiter (':').
In 4.6.1 both simple clock and clock with date shows delimiter constantly.
I would like to see the option to make in blinks (something like 2 or 1 times per second).

The second suggestion is about clock with date.
I like very much the asclock (wmclock looks very similiar).
As you can see, it contains 4 rows. But in XFce clock with date I can set just up to 3 columns. So, currently I had to reproduce the wanted configuration by combining standard view of simple clock and the clock with date in "calendar" mode (the options help list in bottom of configuration window should be extended by IMHO at least abbreviation list).


Also it would be pretty to make some options to rule the analog view of simple clock.

And one more issue, new in 4.6.1 (previously I've used 4.3):

When I run several simple clock applets, the clock ticks only on the one, started first.
On the applet, started later it shows constant time.
As I've checked, it's the bug only of simple clock, clock with date looks to work correctly.

I think this is about the panel-plugin in orage...

I can reproduce the BUG mentioned in the last comment.
Add several Xfce clocks in digital format withour seconds.
Only the first ones work. Last clock is not chancing.

The 3 column comment probably is for Orage clock and that I will fix soon.

Orage clock does not have LCD mode, so the first comment is also against the 
standard Xfce clock. I will not include that in Orage.

Pushing back to base clock for the bug.
Comment 4 Nick Schermer editbugs 2009-10-06 15:30:49 CEST
Multiple digital clocks works fine here, but there were some problems in the timeout code I fixed this morning so this might be related.

I've but the blinking delimiters in a separate bug #5834.

Closing this bug. In the future, put 1 request in a bug and open multiple bugs if you have problems or suggestions.

Bug #5497
