Introduction:

That´s just a nice (hope so;-) digital clock for PowerBar. (Sources on EMail-request).

Installation:

Unzip the archive (you should have already done this, as you read this text :-).
Place PowerClock_module in PowerBar's module folder. (Re-)Start PowerBar. That´s all.

Usage:

Click at the clock to get a preferences popup. I think there´s no need to say more here. At the moment preferences are saved in a file named powerbar_settings_PowerClock in the /boot/system/settings/ folder.
