Adding a Clear Sky Clock widget/screenlet to Linux
I had to spend some time on this one, but I'm very happy with the results.
I use Ubuntu Linux, but I'm sure this will work for any distribution that supports screenlets.
1) Install Screenlets - http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Download
2) Add the Widget Screenlet via - http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/show.php?content=70799&vote=good&tan=90243706
3) Create a new .html from the attachment and save it into the ~/.screenlets/Widget/widgets/ folder. You may wish to edit the site for your specific location. I had to browse the img source to find the proper URL.
4) Use screenlets to add the new CSC to your desktop and then change the widget to the newly created CSC.html file.
Also note that I set the widget to a meta refresh of 2 hours too!!!
ENJOY!
Mike

- Loving husband, proud father, computer geek, astro freak, music lover, sports nut and general fun-loving guyI think I'm the kind of person who doesn't like strong opinions. It doesn't matter if I agree with your opinion or not, it's not factual, it never will be 100% factual and I don't care for it. That's probably why I hate politics.I've always loved facts, provable facts of nature and things concerning science.Over time, I found that most facts are mostly reference and it was the creation of and discovery of new things that intrigued me."A good friend once told me you are our memorywithout them we equal nothingAnd all I can see is the place I wanna beSuddenly my life was so freeLeaves at my feet, blown to the groundtheir echoes are reaching my earsNights coming fast, suns going down" - A7x
