Plasma speaks!

Last night I committed a quick patch to Plasma’s plasmaclock library that almost all plasma clocks use. It changes the configuration interface a little bit to add one neat feature: speaking the time.

Now, you can configure any plasma clock to speak the current time every Nth minute of the hour. I was inspired by a neat little Android app I found the other day for my G1 called “Talking Clock”, which speaks the time every hour. Very handy.

As part of changing the configuration interface, it renames the “Calendar” page to “General” and uses Applet::icon(). I also went in and changed the analog-clock and digital-clock plasmoids’ “General” pages to “Appearance”. Now there aren’t a whole mess of clock icons in the settings :)

   Hi, thanks for implementing this. I would be even happier if the clock would produce bell sounds similar to a traditional striking clock, each hour it would strike as many times as the hour and each half-hour it would strike once.
