A Clock?

Joefitch · 05-30-2011, 07:43 PM

hey guys, i have just recieved a kindle 3 wifi for my birthday, and was instantly struck by one thing... it has no clock :O i was wondering is it possible to add a clock to the navbar, next to where it says ".....'s kindle"??

thanks for your time.

Just hit menu and a clock appears at the top of any screen.
Hit menu again and it's gone.

Not sure about hacks to have it always appear.

ah cool thanks

although it would be cool to have it always there when on the homescreen

np. Keep in mind that if was always displayed on the home screen, presumably you'd want it updated to the correct time every minute, and updating the display uses power. I'm in favor of every little bit of battery life conserved.

I agree with ApK far better for it to appear only when you want it to and save battery power.

very true, I guess its easy enough to find when you want it, so it is unnessisary to have it all the time

btw is it possible to make the clock comply with your countries daylight saving times?

there used to be a hack for the sony's where it would put the time at the bottom of the screen and updated it every time you turned the page.

PRS+ still provides that clock on the Sonys. It is kind of neat.
