SandUhr

An alarm clock for the GNOME desktop environment

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.
