A screen shot of the GNOME panel with 3 teatime applets in

this is a shot of Teatime in 3 different styles

3.3

Make the installation directory for the factory server not hard coded. Tanks to Götz Waschk to pointing this out!
Changed the popup image decompression to make it nearly twice as fast.

3.2

Brown paper bag release, to fix version checking of dependency packages. If you had a problem, that your installed packages are to old, give it an other try :-/ Sorry!

3.1

The only difference to 3.0 is, that with a cute hack the download size is reduced to less than the half.

Teatime is back!

3.0

I have ported teatime to the lovely ruby programming language, with support of the famous ruby gnome bindings. Beside of this, the rendering of the clock is now done with cairo, to make it more appealing. The rendering of the applet is done with double buffering, to make it absolut flicker free.

2.8.0

Replace the usage of gstreamer-0.8 with gstreamer-0.10 so it will compile with uptodate systems. A big "thank you!" to Sebastian Dröge for providing a patch for this change.

2.6.0

Now it is possible to add new teas or remove existing ones
Replace all the libgnome/libgnomeui stuff with the gtk/glib counterparts
code cleanup, bugfixing, the usual stuff…

2.4.4

New translations to
- Hungarian (Mészáros Gergely)

2.4.3

New translations to
- Japanese (Hideki Yamane)
- Polish (Michał Kastelik)
- Romaniam (George Pauliuc)
- Russian (Alexey Rusakov)

2.4.1

Rework of the configuration dialog for the drawing times
For the sound at the end of the drawing time we now support all sound systems that gstreamer supports (thanks to Arnaud Patard)
New translations to
- French (Arnaud Patard)
- Italian (Alfredo Pironti)
- Spanish (Fernando Ossandon)
The usual bugfixes

Installing the ruby version (from version 3.0)

Just follow the instructions in the README file in the package.

Installing the C version (up to version 2.8)

If it is the first GNOME program you compile you may have to install the GNOME development packages / header files first.
If you have an old inallation of teatime do an make uninstall on it first.

Then:

  tar xzf teatime_applet_2-version      unpack the files
  cd teatime_applet_2-version           change to the new teatime directory
  ./configure                           prepare the package to compile
                                        (for configuration parameters do an ./configure --help)
  make                                  compile
  make install                          install the executable & suportfiles
                                        (usualy you only can do this as root / superuser)

Then "right-click" on the panel you want teatime to get placed on and select "Add to panel...". From that dialog select the teatime applet. If teatime dosn't appear in the applet list restart your GNOME session or do an "killall gnome-panel" in a terminal.

If you have problems, to compile, install or run the program send me a mail, with the exact description of your system (version of your GNOME liberies, the operating system,...), the teatime version, and the error messages.
