This is exactly what i was looking for.
Sinds i am not good at making this kind of stuff.
I would like to thank you for making the screenlet and sharing it with all of us so we all benefit from it.
Cheers m8 keep it up!
I'm very new to screenlets, so I don't know if I can provide much insight into your situation. I've run TextDateTime successfully within Compiz and Metacity, with and without compositing.
Are you using Screenlets 0.1.2? Does TextDateTime print any errors to ~/.xsession-errors or ~/.config/Screenlets/TextDateTimeScreenlet.log ?
The calligraphic fonts in that screenshot are Zapfino Linotype Three and Zapfino Linotype Four, both available at http://fonts.ro/ . The weekday (%A) and date (%e %B %Y) are just positioned very close to each other, and right-aligned to keep them looking consistent as the text changes from day to day.
I'm glad you like the screenlet, I'm happy to finally share it with other people. :)
