Digital clock/watch applet - desklet

[Lobo1980]

Hello guys.


My first post here.


Is there any simple lightweight digital watch that can be installed in GhostBSD?


I want to have a clock always on my desktop. Something like Budgie ShowTime or like the Linux Mint watch applet.


Thanks in advance!

Welcome, please read the rules.

GhostBSD, pfSense, TrueNAS, and all other FreeBSD Derivatives

Try a command like:

# env TZ=Europe/Berlin xclock -d -brief

Select your timezone TZ as a path from /usr/share/zoneinfo/.

You can also write your world time script like:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Berlin       `env TZ=Europe/Berlin date`"
echo "Douglas      `env TZ=Europe/Isle_of_Man date`"
# other TZs...

Thanks hruodr!

I'm a noob coming from Linux Mint, but really trying to learn ang get use to FreeBSD/GhostBSD.

Can you tell me where should I write that code?

By typing

env TZ=Europe/Berlin xclock -d -brief

on the terminal I get a clock almost like I want it on the desktop (Image), but still dont know how to configure it as I like.

I know it looks something purely aesthetic, but I use it in my work flow and if it exist or if it can be made I really will like to have it.

Thanks!

It is only a clock. There is not much to configure.
Just type man xclock in the terminal and read the description.
BTW. Call the command with an & at the end, then the terminal will not be blocked:

# env TZ=Europe/Berlin xclock -d -brief &

And the code is for a command in the terminal, you type it when you want to see the time. Put it in a file like ~/bin/wtime, do chmod u+x ~/bi/wtime, and edit .tcshrc to include ~/bin in the path.
