MasterClock

description: This app isn't a clock by itself, but it loads other clocks from chumby.com and shows them. I have tiled the screen into a grid of 3x3 squares and if you move your finger from one square to another you can select the clock you want to see. For example: Move from bottom right to top left and you will see a "black and white"-clock. Move from top left to middle left you can see the big-ben clock... This way you can reach 72 clocks, each just with a short touch of the screen. A random clock is chosen to begin with each time the app loads. I don't know if that is useful for anyone else, but I thought it's a funny way to switch apps and once you know the positions of your favorite clocks it seams like a little bit of magic - at least to me ;) - originally by [[http://www.chumby.com/guide/by/theBoatman|theBoatman]]

@disposablechumby: Yes, the clocks are hard coded. At first I thought of making them configurable, but then I found out that not all clock widgets can run inside my MasterClock. In fact it wasn't easy to find enough clocks for all patterns, so if they where configurable I would get a lot of requests why so many clocks don't work. If you like I can share the code so you can play around with.

Are the 72 clocks hard coded? I'd like the option to pick which clocks are available, and what drag pattern they respond to. Is this currently an option?

Absolutely the best thing ever... you can have different clocks, and change them right there on the chumby

Cool idea! One addition: Could you mark somehow that its the masterclock widget? i have it alongside other clocks in a channel and wouldnt know if i can touch it to change the clock. Maybe using a small icon in the widgets corner?
