Description: "PerfectClock is a skinnable, flexible, fast and highly customizable program displaying an unlimited number of World-Time clocks on your desktop."
This is a version made for linux
Perfect clock skins are designed by ALSEDI Group (www.perfect-clock.com), the linux version of Perfect Clock was created by Helder Fraga aka Whise
This linux version was created from reverse so you may not get all the features you get with the windows version
you can get new skins at http://www.perfect-clock.com/index.php?page=download-skins
No attribute path? What do I do?

These files should be the skin files, however at least one file is corrupt (the file itself is a ZIP). I'm sure this is intentionally done by the developers (to prevent using the skins on other systems)
These files do not follow the Zip file specifications. The first to bytes of the files should be "PK".
You can use this script to convert all theme files in the current directory:
#!/bin/bash
SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")
FILES='./*.PCSkin'
for f in $FILES
do
echo -en PK >test.pcskin
tail -c+3 $f >>test.pcskin
mv test.pcskin $f
done
IFS=$SAVEIFS
I need multiple skins in order to do a World Clock. I found the skins at http://www.perfect-clock.com/index.php?page=download-skins and downloaded them into ~/USERNAME//screenlets/PerfectClock/themes, but despite being recognized by Perfect Clock, they don't appear when selected. They have an odd extension, .PCSkin
How do I add those to PerfectClock and use them?
Many thanks.
I try sudo ./PerfectClockScreenlet.py in a terminal and the install fails with
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'path'
There is no option in Screenlets itself which permits me to successfully install 'it. When I click on Install in Screenlets and navigate to .perfectclock under my home directory, no installable screenlet is found.
I use Karmic Koala, and the version of Screenlets is 0.1.2
Your kind assistance is appreciated.
Can you add to archive all the skins from the www.perfect-clock.com like folders, because I can't install the xxxx.PCSkin (it's just can't load the skin). I use "install clock skin", but can't install the skin. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 ...
This is what I looking for...
But could you please add a function to display Day and Night? When I set this clock for another country not local time, I would like to know whether it is Day or Night in their. Thank you.
Hi!
I'm using Screenlets 0.0.12 under Ubuntu 8.04 with Compiz und Gnome. All my other Screenlets work really fine!
When I'm trying to launch PerfectClock via the ScreenletManager, nothing happens.
Via the console, I get the following output:
CachingBackend: Loading instances from cache
Found a running session of PerfectClock, adding new instance by service.
Error in screenlets.services.get_service_by_name: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.screenlets.PerfectClock was not provided by any .service files
Screenlet has already been added to /tmp/screenlets/screenlets.rainer.running

Hello,
well I'm typing in my terminal ./PerfectClockScreenlet.py but here is what I get: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
What is wrong?
Thank you very much.

OK, resolved that problem; installed under ~/USERNAME/.screenlets and it works much better.
This screenlet is fabulous! Thank's for sharing
There is no problem, the mistake was in me ... Thanks for the screenlet ;-)
