I've tried searching these forums, the sysstats site, and deviantart looking for a simple uptime monitor to display on my desktop. I just want something as plain (customizable) text (doesn't need any fancy background) to show my uptime (Xweeks Xdays Xhours Xmins Xsecs). I have absolutely no idea how to make one, my html is iffy let alone whatever language this stuff is scripted in. @_@
Does anyone know where I could find such a desklet script? :confused: Please and thanks.
Here's a simple script/config for you:

Not too bothered with seconds but I'm sure you could mod it.
Oh yeah Calibri font was used.
I've downloaded it but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it now. :confused:
I placed the files in the proper locations, then I tried adding a new sysstats desklet, tried loading the uptime.ini, but nothing is happening?
Which host are you running it in eg ObjectDock, AveDesk, etc?
If you have OD I can probably help, otherwise... ;-)
I'm just trying to run it through Avedesk. I want to place it under the other stats display I have (also with Avedesk) but it doesn't seem to agree with me.
Right click on the systat, configure and tell me what the overlays and meters submenu says?
When you selected uptime.ini did it even show "Uptime" on the desktop? You've installed calibri right?
After I load the uptime.ini, the desklet doesn't change. It still shows the sysstats question mark and has Sysstats as the label. When I go to configure, it has AnimatorOverlay Class for overlays (it's all blank) and Animation Class for the meters (also blank).
And yes I have Calibri installed.
Okay I've cleaned it up a little. Edit the uptime.ini and replace with the following instead:

Oooh, I see it now. I think maybe the problem was that the font is so small and white that I couldn't see it on my wallpaper (which is pretty light). How can I edit the font and stuff? Do I have to do it through the ini file? I can't seem to right click on it and get the Avedesk menu.
Edit: nvm, I seemed to have clicked in just the right spot and got the configure menu. I'll have to play with it a bit. Thanks for the script.

Sorry yeah the font's white:confused:... I have it with a avedesk little shadow so it shows up nicely on most desktops (except perhaps pure white). The above script is a little cleaned up (removing some of the config for vertical calendar). Is the uptime value showing correctly for you?
