Description Halla Rempt 2003-11-04 08:46:17 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

It would be nice to have an option to have the clock applet chime the hour, half-hour and quarter hour.
Comment 1 Pandu Rao 2004-04-28 20:45:50 UTC
Chime schedule must be configurable. e.g., No chimes from 9:00 p.m to 9:00 a.m. Different schedules for weekends, etc.
Comment 2 Aaron J. Seigo 2004-11-19 07:32:09 UTC
chiming? ok.
chiming schedules? no.
Comment 3 Becheru Petru-Ioan 2006-06-19 12:28:00 UTC
Not a difficult thing to do :
<algorithm>
if( current_day != special_day ) //special days are: weekend,
                                 // holidays (possible integration with KOrganizer)
 {
 if( current_hour == alarm_hour && current_minute==alarm_minute )
   play( the_song );
 }
</algorithm>
This code should be exec every minute(second) update

What is taking so long to implement?
Comment 4 Ian 2006-08-30 09:19:50 UTC
I am in favor of the scheduling.
Perhaps a nice text to speech implementation with configurable messages for each chime could also be used..
eg: "It's five oh clock, Ian. Get supper started!"

Kicker is no more mantained and all bugs/wishes will not be fixed/implemented in KDE3. A list of the most interesting/unresolved issues which is still valid for KDE4 has been created. Before reopening old kicker bugs on KDE4 Plasma, please try the new KDE 4.3.1, check the current behaviour and, only if you find new bugs or if you need a particular feature, open a new bug report.

Remember that KDE 4 is a full rewrite of KDE 3 so some old features will not be re-implemented because the behaviour has be changed a lot on some sides.

Thanks for the comprehension and enjoy the new KDE 4!

This feature is still missing from the Plasma 5 clock widget.  Could someone please move this report to that product?
Comment 7 Tristan Miller 2016-08-17 13:38:13 UTC
Sorry, I misread the instructions in Comment 5.  I've reincarnated this report as Bug 367111 for plasmashell.  Please comment and/or vote there.
