The open source Date / Time Chooser project has been updated to version 1.9.
Changes for 1.9:
Added the ability to use a Gradient fill for the Date/Time Chooser Window
Added a color wheel to allow custom window color selection
Resolved the lack of native feel when choosing / using the Clock time chooser
Updated the “Demo Window” to reflect the Gradient fill feature
The only images that I am using for this project (outside of the demo project) are the Clock faces. One style of clock face is object2D and the remaining are png images. I do not have the 2x png images in this project quite yet. I develop on two Retina mac’s and so far the existing ones are not distorted. What would be the best way (resolution) to test this?
Does the solution matter if the screen is Retina? I wouldn’t think so. My Retina testing is done with an old old Cinema display. Very painfull but workable. It’s just Xojo that doesn’t work at 840 x 5xx.
Separator1 and Separator 3 have skewed a bit too far to the left.
The CurrentMonthButton takes the calendar to todays date and month as expected and preselects the current date. What about the time though ? It would be useful if there was a button to switch the clock to the current time if you have changed that, or incorporate this into the CurrentMonthButton so that it shows both the current date/month and time in the same button click.

A couple of points of note :

Thank you Stephen I see this now and will address it.
The idea and/or premise of this control is to allow a user to select a point in time that they will be scheduling a task for. If the task was to be scheduled for Now then this control would not be needed. I purposely did not allow the time chooser to become a functional clock while visually we got close in terms of the second hand and the clock face
Out of curiosity what benefit would syncing the time button give you?
The mean reason I suggested it is because if you have been going to different dates and times and then changed your mind, it may be easier and/or faster to have a button that takes you straight back to the current date and time, and then start over.
Mike, did you update the zip file on the download page ? The ‘lines’ are still out of alignment and I cant see any way to reset the clock back to current time, unless that is something you are planning in a future update…
I did not add the reset button yet as I am trying to find a nice icon for that
I did fix the lines, however I may not be seeing what you are seeing (I primarily use Mac OSX). Can you post a screen shot of it on this thread please? Are you on Windows?
If you look at the original project demo screenshot you posted at the start of this thread and also the one a couple of posts ago that was the 2.0 update, you can see in both of them where the 3 lines extend past the left hand side a bit too far.
I can post a screenshot from my mac if you still want, but I think they are fairly well visible in the two screenshots you have already posted.
Oh haha!! That is only on the demo window Sorry I have been looking at the Calendar/Time chooser this whole time scratching my head That demo window is only for demo purposes and shouldn’t be in anyone’s final project. However thank you for pointing this out and I will fix it
[quote=125349:@Stephen Thomas]Apologies for the confusion Mike. I spend a fair bit of time on the visuals within any project, control alignment, appearance etc.
I should have made it clearer, that it was on the demo window as opposed to the picker itself.[/quote] No problem as this was kind of funny also
