namazTime update

namazTime anonymous svn
Saturday, June 24th, 2006just put up an svn repository for public access. you can access it here, or to obtain the latest code, just do:
svn co http://piousity.net/namazTime
thanks to mohammed sameer's suggestions, i made several changes. the version in svn is different than the release mainly because now, rather than manually make calls to libglade for loading objects from the xml files, i use the default build stuff generated by glade. while this will make a few things easier (adding translations later on, for example), i am not quite sure if i did everything right, but it seems to work so its fine for now (i am mainly unsure with respect to how to get the widgets, because the lookup method requires a parent widget which sometimes i don't have available, so i just made the main window global, and just destroyed the auxillary windows when they are closed and reopen them).
the version in subversion also links against libitl, so it is no longer bundled within the app. finally, a todo list is included for people interested in helping out.
namazTime 0.9
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006i've fixed some of the distribution issues with the last version of namazTime, and so here it is, namazTime 0.9. it's still linux only at the moment, and it needs a notification area - most window managers either have this (gnome, kde, xfce, fluxbox), or you can get a program to handle this for those that don't (i currently use trayer under openbox).
to bring up the prayer times, you click the icon in the notification tray. hitting x or reclicking the icon reminimizes it into the tray. to change the timings and such, right click the icon. you can find a screenshot of the program in one of the older posts about it on this weblog.
on the todo list is to fix any bugs (please comment if you find something amiss), add some sort of alarm feature (to play the athan, for example), provide translations (arabic especially), and maybe port to windows and osx.
if you try it, please leave your comments. thanks!
wsalams.
namaztime development
Monday, January 16th, 2006i've done some work on namaztime. i made a few improvements to the interface and to the calculation algorithm, and hopefully fixed some bugs.
insha'Allah hope to release sometime soon, just got a couple more things that i want to get done for this release, a couple of small things to fix, etc...
namazTime 0.4 and prayertime desklet 0.4
Sunday, March 20th, 2005salam 3alaikum.
as requested, i've updated the prayertime desklet to be compatible with the latest gdesklets. it now relies on libitl 0.6.4 and itools-0.6.2, which can be obtained from the arabeyes itl page. hopefully this should fix some of the problems people were having earlier. i've tested it under gdesklets 0.34.2. an old but accurate screenshot can be found here.
while i was at it, i also updated the namazTime software to also use the latest itl code and improved the image installation issue somewhat [now the software just assumes a /usr/local based install]. namazTime is a gtk2 based tray program for telling salat times. (there's an old but fairly accurate screenshot in this post.
click here to download the 0.4 version of the prayertime desklet.
click here for the latest 0.4 version of namazTime.
btw, all this stuff only works on linux. i guess i should try to get windows and osx versions running at some point as well...
walsalam 3alaikum.
namazTime 0.3b for linux
Wednesday, September 15th, 2004peace. people with linux and gtk2 can download the 0.3 beta version of namazTime. its pretty much functional (although it doesn't make athan yet). please do consult the (very short) readme before attempting to run it.
and most importantly, please leave me some feedback, bug reports, etc. wa jaza Allah al-mu2mineena (wal mu2minati) khairan.
prayertime app update, etc
Monday, September 13th, 2004peace... i pretty much finished the linux gtk2 version of the prayertime application... all i am missing is 2 things - a nice icon for the tray, and adding notification (ex. athan or a dialog box when a prayer time comes about). there's also one little bug i am trying to fix, i am not sure if its an itl bug or if its a bug in my code, so insha'Allah going to try to figure that out...
i got my copy of the mono developer's notebook today. at an uber short glance, it seems pretty cool...
bookpool rocks for technical books... their prices often times beat amazon's and their shipping prices seem pretty reasonable (i got 2 day shipping for just under $5).
halo rocks. even if its sold by microsoft. that is all for now...
a tiny bit of code…
Saturday, September 11th, 2004
peace. i started playing with the excellent ITL
libraries today. my hope is to write a simple application that just sits in the system tray and gives a simple listing of when the salat times are.
as you can see, its in uber beta stage right now. insha'Allah the plan is for gtk2 and windows versions; and then insha'Allah i'll try to fix up my broken gdesklet.
