That's very nice,
gregdulli! That's
a desklet I haven't though of, and I enjoy your timer: both
cute and practical... May I share a few comments?
- I think that the refresh rate
should be configurable, because 1 Hertz (1 refresh per
second) might be a little heavy on some hardware (I just
tried it on an IPAQ, and it is heavier than it needs to
be)... Besides, rotating only 10 or 12 times a minute might
make the inherent jerkiness of rotating raster graphics
less visible, without having too much impact on the
information displayed.
- Is there a reason for the
Windows-specific sound blob?! I never heard of adesklets
running on this platform... ;-)
- In fact, having the
possibility to run an external command (see os.system from the python library)
instead of playing a sound would also be nice: this way we
could have any sort of timed events configured right on the
desktop -- this is just my preferences of
course.
Anyway, I think your code is already clean and worth
sharing on the "official"
desklet
page, provided you are willing to spend an extra few
minutes to
follow the procedure outlined in the manual. Thanks for
your work! I am looking forward to see it listed on the site.
Regards,
