Description John Horne 2008-05-29 20:12:42 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
Compiler:          GCC 4.3.0 
OS:                Linux

The digital clock configuration used to have a 'blinking dots' option (under KDE 3) - which meant that the colon (:) separating the hour/minutes blinked once per second.
Fedora 9, with KDE 4.0.4 shows no such option. I used to set blinking dots because if the system hung then the blinking would stop - hence I could see that the system had hung. (I used this recently on my Fedora 8 PC at work.) Can we have the option put back please.


Thanks,

John.

Is it really that hard to confirm this?  I mean, whether or not you agree there should be such an option, you right-click the clock, Digital Clock Settings, and look for a "blinking dots" option, and it's not there.  It's been over a year now.

I'm also missing this option (currently using KDE 4.3.4).

They have time for adding stupid shadow effects but not for those things. Not in 4.6.
Comment 4 lcn.mustard 2011-04-07 06:25:53 UTC
I'm  missing this option too
Comment 5 John Layt 2011-05-27 18:52:46 UTC
We have discussed this option on the plasma developers list and decided this option will not be added to the standard clock widget.

It seems you like not to add useful or common features to the default plasmoids. Same goes for the taskbar where this gets even worse: No “icons only” view, no “close task with middle mouse button” etc
