Hehehe, yeah it's supposed to be used with the analog clock function in Samurize or something similar.

Are you looking for an analog or digital clock? Is it supposed to be a docklet for your dock, or for your desktop?

my dock!

 

[Not Bman]

thanks bk, any other clocks!

I think NetRyder attached a zipped file in a thread that I started which had around 20-ish PNG clocks. Unfortunately, that thread was deleted due to that SQL glitch.

Added the following sites to the Icon Sites list:

Here's a potentially useful tool that I just came across.

Icon Searcher

Icon Searcher performs fast scan of all local hard disks for icon images(Support XP style icon). The program handles lots of different file formats, like DLL, EXE, ICO, ICL, OCX ,SCR, CPL ,BPL,VBX, DRV and extracts all available icons from files to the user-friendly visual image list.

Icons can be saved as separate icon files or copied to the Windows and then pasted into any application, document, or other environment supporting image pasting. This Program store found icons in database and compress them. Icon Searcher uses saving icons as BMP, ICO, JPG, GIF, PNG, PCX, TGA, TIFF files.

It's a 30-day trial program, but I wouldn't really see the need to run it more than once or twice.

I just reformated my computer and I lost some stuff I was using for ObjectDock. I need the info to my country (area) for the weather dock. I think muzikool or somebody gave me this?

 

[muzikool]

Yeah, I did. Was it Ontario?

 

[Not Bman]

yea it was

 

[muzikool]

For some reason I can't find Ontario again. Toronto is "CAXX0504," but weather.com doesn't come up with Ontario. In the address, you change cities by changing the number, and I tried consecutive number like 505, 506, 507 etc, which are all Canadian cities. I don't have anymore time to look right now, but I will look again later if you can't come across it.

found ottawa on that site, http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/local/CAXX0343?from=search_city but I dont see where you get the thing for the docklet?

Just a small note... I found that getting the weather info for YsDock Weather docklet was found better or easier from this site.

http://uk.weather.com/

Maybe Object Dock works the same, I 'm not sure because I don't or have never really used Object Dock..

Just my $0.02

 

[Not Bman]

didnt find it there either,

Hmmm I can see it no problem...

I think this is the code ... CAXX0343

 

[muzikool]

Bman, what do you mean by not finding the "thing for the docklet?" You place your code in the configuration file along with the temp measurement that you want. Dangit I wish we still had the posts about this from before!

 

[Not Bman]

I mean I couldnt find "CAXX0343" that code thing for the docklet.

Thanks Beginning for finding that, and yea wish we still had those posts.

Edit* Here is what I see...

 

[Beginning]

Isn't that what you want? The code?

 

[Not Bman]

huh, yea thats what I wanted and now I have. I was showing you that the link you gave me didnt show me it. It's all good now! Except that my provider is down, and now none of my images are working .

 

[Beginning]

Hmmm... If your provider is down how do you post? Glad you got the weather working..
