Steampunk Clock Icon and Desktop Widget

Published:
14.9K Views

Description

This is now both an icon and a widget that you could certainly use on your desktop. Both are included in the zipfile.

** NEW VERSION 1.2 **
Clicking on the rim will cause a locking pin to appear locking the widget in place. It has complete menus and new licence code.

The widget clock is a moveable widget that you can move anywhere around the desktop as you require. It tells the time just as you would expect it to do so.

Double-clicking on the Clock will cause a personalised Windows/Mac application to fire up. The first time you run it there will be no assigned function and so it will state as such and then pop up the preferences so that you can enter the command of your choice. The widget takes command line-style commands for windows or Mac OS/X. 

This is part of a small set of icons/widgets for your desktop, there are plenty more.

Not quite sure what you are going to use the icon for, possibly for acces to some time or calendar function? That is up to you to decide. This icon is eminently usable on windows/ Mac OS/X / Linux &c. The widget is usable on both Windows and Macs.

The widget is a Yahoo widget and it needs the yahoo widget engine. You can get that here: lightquick.co.uk/steampunk-wid…

========================================================
Instructions for running Yahoo widgets on Mac OS/X, all recent versions including Sierra.

Edit the following file:

com.yahoo.widgetengine.plist which is in /Users/xxx/Library/Preferences. Look for these lines:    <key>DockOpen</key>
   <string>false</string>

Change to false if it is true.

Then you should be able to start Yahoo! Widgets and the menubar item should appear. Widgets can then be started from the menubar or by double-clicking them in the usual way.

========================================================


Recreated from an earlier icon, this PNG is larger and has more detail so that you can resize if you wish or use "as-is". I will be creating .ICO and .ICNS icons from this later.

Here is just one more over 150 steampunk icons that I have created that will leave your Windows or Mac desktop looking absolutely spiffing. There is a whole set of the little thingies and I must say they do look very steampunk indeed! They really are a suitable replacement for the boring old default icons that come with Rocketdock/ObjectDock &c.

This icon and the others like it will spruce up your desktop and give it a bit of Victorian class. Compatible with MobyDock, ObjectDock, RK Launcher, and your default Windows icons.

To View: - You can see all my icons by clicking here: rocketdock.com/user/107284/add…

To Download : - I have created a couple of steampunk icon sets but you can download the main one here:
rocketdock.com/addon/icons/383…

If you want any new icons then just ask! I am always open to new (or old) ideas - please leave a comment, these icons are quite hard to do and a nice comment makes my day.

Rocketdock Installation: In the rocketdock folder there is a subfolder called icons. Move these icons into that folder or create a subfolder called steampunk icons and copy them in there. Then you simply change each of your individual icon images to any one of these. Easy enough.

The only condition for downloading and using is that you leave feedback. Please leave a message and rate the icons as it is the only payment I get for creating this small desktop addition :D

If you feel so disposed you could donate a point or two to my deviantart pool? yereverluvinuncleber.deviantar…

Thanks! Do enjoy the icon.
Download at the top, that's it, just there. Ooh yes, that's lovely, thankyou.
