    [help] [minimap-icon] turning on/off the minimap-icon clock?

    Title pretty much says it all: is it possible to turn on/off the minimap-icon clock attached to the carb icon added in the latest patch.

    Nice idea and most likely very usefull to a bunch of people but i like having the minimap icons scaled down to absolute minimum size making the clock just looking like a line on my screen.

    if this isnt an option allready implemented (couldnt find anything in here nor in the release notes or option menu/right click menu) i would love to see the clock having customizable options as follow:

    • Possibilty to turn the clock on/off

    • Possibility to scale it up/down seperatly of the minimap icons (so its visible even when i have it scaled down to minimum)

    • Possibility to detach the clock from the minimap dock (i just dont place my minimap icons and clock together)

    I found the option to turn off the clock in the WoW interface options in the same place ('Display' I think) where you can choose whether or not do display the helm and cloak.

    I agree here, the clock isn't even usable for me since I have it scaled too. It'd be nice to pop the clock out or, even better... a carbonite clock (that would be way cool).

    I've been using an addon I modified to show my local time for a while now. I'm on the east coast US and play on an Oceanic server (don't ask...) and it was bugging the crap out of me to have to subtract 14 hours all the time to know what time it was so I found zimclock. It does not show the day of the week which I wanted to make it easier to know when the fishing extravaganza is going on (for me it ends up being on Fridays at midnight) so I just modified the script to show it.

    For anyone wanting to use this and make changes to the display format it's very easy you just modify the zimClock.lua file. A full listing of Lua date/time system variables can be found at http://www.lua.org/pil/22.1.html there is a table of the variables about 3/4 of the way down the page.

    You just change the "%" variables found in this section fmt = "%m/%d %I:%M %p" (displays 7/18 2:50 AM)

    For me that was adding "%a" as that is the variable for short day of the week name (Tue for example) so my line looks like fmt = "%a %m/%d %I:%M %p" (displays Fri 7/18 2:50 AM)

    For those not in the US wanting to use your normal local time/date display format change the line to fmt = "%c".

    That will show the date time however your system normally formats it.

    Hmm, doing markup for a time display with the time format string would be nice for the Info window.

    Adding to the short todo list.

    Thought it would be fun, so I did it.

    <Time%a %m/%d %I:%M %p><c><t>

    I liked your format and used it as the default.

    <Time><c><t>

    Will show the locale specific format.

     Is it possible to add this yet? I couldn't figure out how to add a new line for the info windows...

    I added <Time> after 1.731 was released, so you'll have to wait for 1.74.

    The separate editor window will be required to add lines. Probably a solid day to get all that working.

    did not even cross my mind that the carb clock could be turned off as a part of the normal UI, cheers RyanYo, worked like a charm
