Current version is 4.7.7
Despite on I wrote before, new releases will happen!
Since 4.7.6 release I received few emails/comments/tickets with a request to reconsider closing the project. Thanks to these people, their opinions are important to me. And as result I decided to keep project alive. I’ll fix at least bugs I consider important. Also I have plans to use this project as «playground» for something new I learn, but don’t worry, I’ll not bring changes breaking existing stuff. Moreover, this project is appeared as and grown from such «playground» 🙂
This release brings new awesome feature — clock becomes almost transparent on mouse hover! This is available on any of supported platforms (i.e. Win/Linux/macOS).
Also it includes a lot of fixes related to multiple monitors issues.
What’s more this release introduce great option for Linux users — my app now can be installed from repository, like any other Linux app! Full list of supported distros and architectures is here.
Now source code is available on GitHub again. This was done due to some benefits (which depend on used VCS) for Linux packaging.
Please, help to translate! Few languages where requested, I added them to transifex project, feel free to join it and translate. Nothing required from my side, I configured project that anyone can be added as translator automatically. Only one thing is required — you must have transifex account (GitHub and few other accounts can be used to login it). Translations to Korean and Chinese are really appreciated.
Quick start
Nothing special required to start using this clock. Just launch it and enjoy! When it starts, apart the clock itself, small tray icon appears (where system tray is available). Tray icon appearance depends on operating system, in most cases it is black, but on Windows 10 and macOS with dark panel theme it is white. This tray icon can be used at least to call clock configuration dialog. Also configuration dialog can be called using context menu, which appears on right click on clock. In environments without system tray (such as GNOME 3) this is only the way to call configuration dialog. But be ware: when «transparent for mouse» option is enabled, you will be unable to click on clock!
Notes
Windows
- Installation instructions
- Sound playback doesn’t work on any Windows ‘N’ edition
- Installer version depends on Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019. Installer does not install it automatically (for now, but maybe this will done later). It must be installed manually before running (or installing) this program. Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 installation must be done only once.
- Minimum Windows version supported by installer is Windows 7 SP1. Constraint is inherited from Microsoft Visual Studio. All questions ‘why?‘ — to MS.
- Portable version may work on older Windows versions, but this is not really tested and correct work is not guaranteed (since it has compiled with Windows 7 SDK). I have no plans to support obsolete Windows versions.
Linux
- Installation instructions
- Sounds playback capability depends on installed gstreamer1.0 plugins/codecs. Install gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly to play mp3/mp4 files.
- Any version before 4.5.1 has issues with sound playback on Ubuntu 16.04 and newer (also maybe on other modern Linux systems).
- To use Talking clock plugin install speech-dispatcher package.
- Application restart may be required after some settings changes.
- Don’t use version from repo in Wayland environments, use «portable» instead (as before)
macOS (OS X)
- Minimum supported macOS (OS X) version is 10.12 Sierra, constraint is inherited from Qt framework.
- Any version before 4.5.1 has issues with setting saving on macOS Sierra.
- Application restart may be required after some settings changes.

Installer
Current version is 4.7.5
This is pure maintenance release, just to bring newer Qt version. Upgrade is recommended for all users, especially for macOS users.
Some reported bugs are still not fixed, sorry. Some of them is not trivial or require additional investigations. So please wait new release.
32-bit builds are no longer provided (both for Linux and Windows), but Windows portable version remains 32-bit. If you still want/need in something else — build it by yourself. But it is very likely that with next minor release (i.e. 4.8.0), portable version also become 64-bit since Qt 5.12 will not provide 32-bit builds anymore (according to currently available beta releases).
Source archives also is not available for downloads here anymore. If you want source, just clone the repository.

Digital Clock 4 Wiki
Qt instalation is pretty simple, don’t worry if you know nothing about Qt and do its instalation first time.
Download Qt installer, run it and follow its instructions. Root is not required to install Qt.
You can safely uncheck everything execpt Desktop gcc.
Getting sources
There are 2 ways to get sources:
1. download archive from release files (stable code)
2. download snapshot/clone repository (latest code)
Also you will need in resources (skins, textures, etc.)
Compilation
- extract all downloaded archives
- move resources to one folder
- open scripts/create_package.sh from sources folder in any text editor and change QT_ROOT, CLOCK_SRC_PATH, CLOCK_DATA_PATH variables corresponding to your system
- open terminal and navigate to clock sources root ( CLOCK_SRC_PATH value)
- run build script: ./scripts/create_package.sh
Compilation will take about few minutes (depending on hardware), and as result you will get Digital Clock folder and digital_clock_4-linux.tar.xz alongside with sources folder. Digital Clock folder will contain ready to use application, digital_clock_4-linux.tar.xz is compressed version of it.
Notes
- Qt no longer supports 32-bit linux. maximum Qt version for 32-bit system is 5.5. clock compilation is not possible with it. compile Qt 5.9 or newer from sources manually
- to run clock use digital_clock.sh
- theoretically clock can be compiled for any unix-like platform which is supported by Qt, but it is not tested
- some cool stuff is available only in Linux! see config_desktop.sh —help for details
