What do you mean when you say it is inaccessible or you can't make it work?
You have a file named clickclock?
You want to execute (run) it?
You want to change the ownership of it?

Maybe you would like swisswatch (Swiss railway clock)
100x100 give the size of the clock.
1590+10 the xy-location
Have fun.

I did a test and this is what I find:
I am in BusterDog64. This is a 32bit app. This app needs
libXmu.so.6. So I installed.
Depending on your Puppy you may need 32bit compatibility sfs.
I guess open a terminal and try 1rst if it work, then create the menu
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/swisswatch -geometry 100x100+10+10
It did and I can maximaze it to take Full Screen.
To create link open geany. Type in
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Name=swisswatch
Exec=/usr/bin/swisswatch -geometry 100x100+10+10
Type=Application
Icon=swisswatch
Save as swisswatch.desktop
Enjoy, enrique
