SandUhr

By Jochen Voss, last updated August 31, 2011.

Introduction

SandUhr is an alarm clock, which is designed as an hourglass. The program uses the X Window System and the GNOME desktop environment. The alarm is delivered to you by either ringing the console bell, by playing a sound file, or by starting an external program of your choice.

The program is fully integrated into the GNOME application framework.

• It uses the GNOME help system to provide an extensive manual.
• Use of CORBA: The program features a full-grown CORBA interface. So you may control the SandUhr from within your own programs or plug in custom alarm actions.
• It has support for the GNOME window manager hints.
• Drag and drop: you may drop a color onto the timer to change the sand's visual appearance.

SandUhr was implemented by Jochen Voss.
