Description:

Fclock - A simple alarm clock for Haiku. It allows you to set your time and a customize alarm sound. (anything that mediaplayer can playback)

Installation:
Just extract the zip archive and doubleclick the file FClock

You can quit the app by pressing q for a long time or by pressing ALT+Q .
To set the alarm time press the alarm clock or press and hold a . ( pressing a seems a little slow) 

I recommened you to initially setup your alarm time by starting fclock in a terminal with the parameter -c .


Here you can find a little introduction screencast of FClock: http://blip.tv/file/3746667


If you have tips or enhancements let me know ;) 

Source is included.

Requirements: awk, tail, tar, bzip2 (should be included in most Haiku revisions) 

Note: This program is a portable app. If you want to share it with your friends you need only to copy the executable FClock file. 

Changelog:

Version 1.1

- changed execution script to not use mktemp anymore (it will use a fixed directory now called /tmp/FClock)

Thats strange.
With which haiku revision are you testing it ?
It runs fine with r37035 and above as there seems to be a mktemp command in there.

Released new version. Doesn't use mktemp anymore and ships as binary, so no yab 1.5 requirement anymore.

The clock works. However I am unable to quit by pressing 'q' or ALT-Q. I had to power-down. Strongly recommend using ESCAPE key to quit with one press.

You need to press and hold q. (1 Second timeout)
The same goes for ALT+Q.
And btw. if it doesn't work you can always switch to another desktop (ALT+F2..F4) and quit the app there.

I think I will include a simple close button in the gui on the next update if it is still an issue

Perhaps off-topic, but a screensaver that functions as a clock and has a similar (or maybe even more minimalistic) display would be nice (customizable would be even nicer).
Maybe some of your code for this app could be of use for that.

I don't think that yab code can be used for a screensaver.
