atom-clock

Display a customizable clock in the status bar.

Installation

The clock can be installed through Atom. Alternatively, you can use apm:

apm install atom-clock

Features

Customizable time format and locale: any format and locale supported by moment.js is supported by atom-clock as well!
i18n: specify any locale to get the date in your language.
UTC time: show the UTC time instead of the local time.
Multi-platform package: the clock works with Linux, Windows and macOS.

Settings

Time format

It specifies the format to use when displaying the time. The package uses moment.js to format the time, so please refer to the related moment.js documentation. The default value for the time format is H:mm.

Locale

It specifies the locale the clock will use when displaying the time. Its default value is en. Please check the moment.js locale folder for a complete list of all supported locales.

Clock interval

It specifies how many seconds should run between two time updates, and it is defaulted to 60 (one update per minute).

Tooltip

If enabled, a tooltip will be shown when you hover over the time in the status bar to display the time in an alternate format. By default the tooltip is disabled, and the format is LLLL.

UTC

If enabled, both the status bar clock and the tooltip clock (if enabled) will display UTC time instead of local time.

Show icon

If ticked, a clock icon will be shown to the left of the time. It is unticked by default.

Full-screen only

If ticked, the clock will only be visible when in full-screen.

Some examples

format	description	display
`H:mm`	default date format
`h:mm a`	am/pm format
`DD/MM/YYYY, H:mm`	short date format
`MMMM Do, dddd, h:mm:ss a`	long date format
`[Quarter] Q, MMMM Do YYYY, ddd, h:mm a`	space waster format

Locales

When a different locale is specified in the settings, the date language will change accordingly. A locale can be defined with its substring, and moment.js will take care of selecting the first locale it knows. A substring can be specified in many ways. As example, the Chinese locale for China can be expressed as zh-cn, zh_cn, zh-CN or zh_CN.

Here are some examples for locales different from English.

locale	code	display
Arabic	`ar`
Belarusian	`be`
Tibetan	`bo`
Russian	`ru`
Chinese	`zh_CN`

Tooltip

When enabled, the tooltip will contain an extended (and configurable) version of the current time/date.

Customization

The CSS classes of the clock elements allow you to customize the appearance of the clock using your styles.less file.

`.atom-clock`, `.atom-clock-icon` and `.atom-clock-time`

These classes allow you to change the appearance of the whole content of the clock (.atom-clock), of the icon only (.atom-clock-icon), or of the time only (.atom-clock-time). A simple entry in the styles.less file looks like this:

.atom-clock {
  color: red;
}

Editing the icon and the time separately:

.atom-clock-icon {
  color: red;
}

.atom-clock-time {
  color: green;
}

`.atom-clock-tooltip`

This class can be used to change the appearance of the tooltip content, in conjunction with .tooltip-inner.

.atom-clock-tooltip .tooltip-inner {
  color: orange;
}

`.atom-clock-utc`

Selective customization can be applied when the UTC time is enabled. This can affect both the status bar content and the tooltip content.

.atom-clock.atom-clock-utc {
  color: red;

  &:after {
    content: " (UTC)";
  }
}

.atom-clock-tooltip.atom-clock-utc .tooltip-inner {
  color: red;

  &:before {
    content: "(UTC) ";
  }
}
