MossabDiae / Hour-Indicator

Get a better feeling of the time you spend on computer using an anime inspired shock effect

Hour indicator

Description (why)

This solves the problem of not feeling the time when using computer, at the start of a new hour the screen colors will be inverted and go back to normal again (mimicking shock effect in cartoons and anime)

How to use

• install xcalib : for a debian based distro you can use sudo apt install xcalib
• put the script invert_color.sh somewhere (I'm using /home/mossab/git/hour_indicator/invert_color.sh)
• set a new cron job to run it (I'm using user specific conf) :crontab -u USERNAME -e

if this is your first time running crontab it'll ask for default text editor (went with nano)

add the following :0 * * * * bash SET_PATH_HERE/invert_color.sh

• save CTRL-O , exit CTRL+X , Done.

Features

Currently working on

TODO

• adding a transition to the effect would be nice
• set seconds for which effect last from command line (for now you can edit sleep X in invert_color.sh)
