This is my take on a real life clock time display in AC.
Playing mostly in VR I soon (actually after missing a couple of appointments ) realized that I needed a way to know the real local time, and if possible set an alarm time.
There are several clock apps already, but I don't think there was any with alarm capability. (maybe I did not search hard enough?)
So just in case it might help someone, here is a very basic app that brings time display and alarm setting.
Install and enable like any app through Content Manager (or drop files where they should be, you know...)
Features:
Hopefully it does the job, but any correction / improvement remark is welcome.
A few screenshots...
Clock only
Alarm mode
Timer mode
Alarm running
Time is up
Time is up (clock only display)

Install and enable like any app through Content Manager (or drop files where they should be, you know...)
Features:
- several parameters can be set in configuration file config.ini (supports Content Manager Settings approach)
- scalable display by choosing font size
- displays clock only or clock & alarm information
- set alarm parameters via app window GUI
- two modes for setting alarm:
- Timer: set a delay before alarm happens
- Alarm: set a given time (hours & minutes) at which alarm happens
- alarm sound can be selected in configuration file (only)
- additional sounds can be used (just put the .wav file in the Sound subdirectory)
- time display in 24 hours format only. (No idea what happens if your system is showing AM/PM time...)
- time value resolution is minutes and first minute of countdown will always last less than a mn so it is not good for accurate short duration (don't use it to cook boiled eggs)
- sound file format MUST be wav
Hopefully it does the job, but any correction / improvement remark is welcome.
