Description Frank Altpeter 2005-09-19 14:50:17 UTC 
Hi,

i just checked out the internet time feature of wmclockmon, but it seems
that it's using the wrong time calculation for displaying the internet
time.

Currently, at 15:35 local time (CEST), which corresponds to 13:36 UTC,
which corresponds in Internet time to @608 .beats, your clock mentions
that it's now @66 .beats, which is translated 02:33 a.m.

It seems that it's using the 12-hour clock and ignoring the DST, so when
using these facts it would be 2:33 p.m. now here in hamburg, which is,
ignoring the p.m. suffix, equal to @66. BTW: H12 is set to 'false'.


This happens with wmclockmon-0.8.1 on FreeBSD 6.0-BETA5 and WindowMaker-0.92.0


Any idea if this could be fixed? :)

Le deagh dhùraghd,

	Frank Altpeter

Yes, i did with my initial bug report (it was sent to
FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org and Thomas Nemeth <tnemeth@free.fr>
together), but never got any response.

Could you see if this patch works for you? 
http://people.freebsd.org/~shaun/patches/wmclockmon.diff 

(create a directory called 'files' in x11-clocks/wmclockmon, and 
put the patch in it; name the file patch-src_main.c)

Shaun that patch makes it act like wmitime, i haven't found a reliable
source for internet time online to check against.
