Customizing the default clock accessory

Asked by Nicolas Berger

Hi

I want to customize the default clock accessory, say, in order to make it use another calendar than gregorian calendar. Where can I find the source code of the clock ? How can I change the program that is linked to the clock accessory in the "add to panel" menu ?

I believe you will find what you are looking for in the gnome-panel package. To install source and build utilities try the following:

#to install compiler etc
sudo apt-get install build-essential
#to fetch and unpack the source for gnome-panel
sudo apt-get source gnome-panel
# to install build depenencies for gnome-panel
sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-panel

Now source for the clock can be found in gnome-panel-x.x.x/applets/clock .

You may want to check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources for info on building packages.

Cheers,

Robert
