The

contains a clock and the bottom section contains the date.

The clock can be toggled between analog and digital modes.  To do this,
click in the bottom section of the window.

WMTime can also be used to launch programs.  You may click either left,
middle, or right mouse buttons in the top section of the window.  The
pre\-configured program will be launched according to the mouse button
clicked.  (see
.B CONFIGURATION FILE
below.)

In order to move
.BR WMTime ,
drag on the outer edges.  These are not sensitive to mouse clicks.

.B WMTime
runs nicely as a 64x64 shaped icon on your desktop.

.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"

.B WMTime
can launch three user\-defined commands, triggered by left, middle and
right mouse button clicks.  You can define the commands to launch in
.I $HOME/.wmtimerc

.RS

.RE

If
.B WMTime
detects a
.I $HOME/.wmtimerc
file, it will launch the appropriate command when you click on the clock.

The system administrator can define default commands in
.IR /etc/wmtimerc .
The administrator may also choose to \*(lqfix\*(rq particular commands,
making it impossible for users to change.  These commands can be defined in
.IR /etc/wmtimerc.fixed ,
although this isn't a nice thing to do.
