Wallpaper clock screenlet

screenshot.pngI’m a regular visitor of VladStudio’s website, run by Vlad Gerasimov, a digital artist. It is a spot to find a lot of beautiful wallpapers. Recently, he began making wallpaper clocks - dynamic wallpapers that show date, hour, minute and stuff… I liked the idea, but I wasn’t able to use them on my system, as there was a Windows-only program for it.

I checked out his site last night and was surprised when I saw that there is a Wallpaper clock screenlet for Linux :) (download).

This screenlet requires Screenlets software to be installed. Once that is done, the screenlet needs to be unpacked to ~/.screenlets/ directory, or /usr/local/share/screenlets/ (this way it will be accessible to every user on the system). New wallpaper clocks are added by unpacking .wcz archive to ~/.screenlets/WallpaperClock/wallpapers/, or /usr/local/share/screenlets/WallpaperClock/wallpapers/ (depending on the place where the screenlet is located).

Well, I hope this will be useful :). Enjoy…

Edit: This screenlet depends on python-imaging package.
