While I upgraded (tho I'd originally call it a downgrade, and I guess |
| 7 |
those in the thread would agree, thus the whole kde-sunset project, but |
| 8 |
that water is long under the bridge) to kde4 long ago, and kde5/ |
| 9 |
frameworks is now looming fast in the windshield... |

I do still sure miss worldclock/worldwatch. In addition to the practical |
| 12 |
matter of the graphical global timezone-aware clock it provided I have |
| 13 |
fond memories of watching the day/nite terminator change shape over the |
| 14 |
year, and particularly miss it every equinox as I used to watch the / \ |
| 15 |
shape change to \ / in real-time over that day and the few on either side. |

Anyone have any replacement suggestions? As I write this it occurs to me |
| 18 |
that marble might possibly do that now, and the marble globe wallpaper |
| 19 |
could potentially provide that real-time view without having to have a |
| 20 |
marble window open over equinox, altho from my experience, most of the |
| 21 |
time attempting to actually activate the marble wallpaper ends up |
| 22 |
crashing all of plasma instead, as the various libraries and etc are |
| 23 |
unfortunately seldom all in sync to allow the thing to actually work |
| 24 |
without crashing. Tho the marble interactive wallpaper is definitely |
| 25 |
awesome when it works. =:^/ |
