# Seasonal Hours Clock on Wayland
|
||
|
||
This is a Rust implementation of cinnamon’s [Seasonal Hours Clock](https://github.com/cinnamon-bun/seasonal-hours-clock), running as a native Wayland application.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
### Seasonal hours!
|
||
|
||
In cinnamon’s words:
|
||
|
||
> t would be nice if the 24 hours of UTC time each had a short memorable name. It would make it easier to plan chats with distant friends, since the hour-names would be synchronized around the world.
|
||
>
|
||
> Let's choose a theme like... seasons of the year, just to be confusing. :) Squish a year into 24 hours starting with the winter solstice at UTC 00, which we'll call The Candle Hour.
|
||
|
||
The seasonal hour names are shown on the colourful ring. Seasons are colour-coded: winter is blue, spring is green, summer is yellow, autumn is brownish/orange.
|
||
|
||
### Local time
|
||
|
||
It’s shown on the outermost ring, and as a standard watch. Currently it’s 24h only, but AM/PM version is in the works.
|
||
|
||
### UTC hours
|
||
|
||
Just so you can connect the hour names to actual numbers and to help you with inter-timezone planning. These are shown in the inner ring with a bit fainter numbers.
|
||
|
||
### Day parts
|
||
|
||
The coloured pie chart in the middle shows
|
||
|
||
- night time (very dark grey)
|
||
- pre-dawn/post-dusk time (dark blue)
|
||
- the golden hour (golden)
|
||
- daytime (bright blue)
|
||
|
||
The small red handles show the solar noon and midnight (nadir) times.
|
||
|
||
The hour hand shows the current time; the golden disc, visible only during daytime, shows the Sun’s position on the sky.
|
||
|
||
### Moon phase
|
||
|
||
The innermost circle is the current Moon phase. It tries to be as realistic as possible.
|
||
|
||
## Limitations
|
||
|
||
The day parts don’t work well (or sometimes they don’t work at all) around and beyond the arctic lines: i haven’t found a reliable way to differentiate between all-day daytime and all-day nighttime.
