lnclk (pronounced lineclock) is a minimalist clock displaying time as a progress bar of 1 pixel of height.
It should display as a dock in the top of the screen in most EWMH-compliant Window Managers (tested in i3 and KWin).
You'll need the XCB library in order to build from source.
Clone the repository :
git clone https://github.com/Askrenteam/lnclk.git
Build the files :
make
The configuration file is located at ~/.config/lnclk/config.
You can configure the background(bg) and foreground(fg) colors of the bar (#rrggbb values).
You can also configure the time unit (tu) displayed (seconds, minutes, hours). Default is seconds.
Lines that start with a '#' are comments.
Example configuration file :
# Foreground color
fg = #906010
# Background color
bg = #101010
# Time unit
tu = minutes
You can have multiple instances of lnclk displaying hours, minutes, etc by loading alternate config files with the -c flag.
