fix for the german code:
visible tag of control 10102 ("Uhr") has to be:

Code:

<visible>Control.isVisible(10004) + ![System.Time(01:00,01:05)|System.Time(13:00,13:05)]</visible>

square is so last week (And before you ask no I can't share the code because it doesn't work proper (update)

I'm too tired to take SS, upload & stuff, but I finish the English version to rectangle, uploaded in my GIT repo, take a look to the xml if you want or download the MOD, tomorrow I`ll make the German one.

So I'm browsing the web, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I click a link and a TWO POINT FIVE THOUSAND LINE xml file jumps out at me

This reminds me of that GameBoy emulator in JavaScript and that 11-bit ALU implemented in C pre-processor - things that make amazing, paradigm-shifting tech demos and equally amazing nightmares of code for anyone hoping to abstract and extend the data in the future.

I love this clock's design and, IMHO, a new C++ GUI control class encapsulating the clock's behavior should most likely replace the xml beast; feed it a basic strings.xml and language matrix and let it do it's thing in codespace.

Have any coders approached you about this direction? I'm such a fan of your dedication toward programming it in XBMC's skin engine that I feel motivated to take on the challenge of a C++ implementation

Edit: This would be the perfect lead-in for turning this clock into a screen saver (:

Here let me share some simpler code for the Minutes part that doesn't require id's that may break with certain skins and has way simpler visible conditions and will work in any skin

Nice

[freaksworth]

... is this

Code:

<enable>!substring(system.time(mm),0,right)</enable>

documented?

[Jezz_X]

indeed it is http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=List_of_Boolean_Conditions

[freaksworth]

.. indeed. (damn, again), sry

More info yet in http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=InfoLabels, same place where I learn about the System.Language, very important info that isn't as easy to find as the boolean conditions as it's a lost list that isn't linked to any other page, guide or whatever.

This page should be linked from this SubString(info,string,[Left or Right]) in the boolean list to say one.

Edit:

I added the link to the Boolean conditions list were infolabels were refered, my first wiki (as not just xbmc) contribution ever
