Description: A digital clock SuperKaramba widget I made with help from darknoize. Enjoy!! :-)Last changelog:
v1.1
Fixed a bug where the widget crashes at 12am. Also fixed the widget so that it does not display military time (ie 9pm is not 21). Thanks Vegetta for pointing this out to me!!
v1.2
It was pointed out to me that there was error displaying AM/PM between 12PM and 1PM. This problem has now been fixed. Thanks Tom.
v2.0
I've finally added the configuration option menu. Sorry it took so long, but I've been busy!! :-D To access the menu double click on the widget and then select your background theme. I have also added a new background style in black, blue, green and red. Let me know if you want any other colors of the current styles or if you have another style in mind. Enjoy!! :-)
v2.1
Found another AM/PM bug. Hopefully this is the last of them.
v2.2
Darknoize IMed me earlier tonight with a great idea. I'm using 1280x1024 resolution so the clock looks fine on my desktop. Darknoize is using 1024x768 so the clock is too large on his computer. He sent me over some code and image updates he did to the clock to make it smaller. I've integrated his changes into the widget. You can switch back and forth between the large and small size by double clicking on the widget and selecting the size you want. Colors will also transfer between sizes. Thanks again, darknoize, for this great update!! :-)
I am under Mint and here is the mistake I get when I start from a command line

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. I don't check on here that often anymore so you'll have better luck contacting me through email.
As for your problem...
What do you get when you run "date | awk '{print $4}'" on the command line?
I was looking for it earlier and couldn't find it because you have it tagged as an Amarok theme. You may want to move it so more people can find it. :-)
It looks good though.
could u plz send me the background image without am pm
cause i think then it will look clean
btw if i am showing 24hr clock then no need of that i think

Yes, I'm finding there's several problems with this. I put this together around 3am last night and I was pretty tired so I missed a lot of odd cases. Thanks for pointing out the bug though. I'm going to put out a release to fix the problems.
I'd like to see what yours looks like. Maybe we can collaborate on it. I'd like to hear some of your ideas. :-)
