What you see in the pic is not a widget. It is a fully scripted canvas.

In this ‘WIP’, it only updates when the refresh-button is pushed.
What would be the smartest way to make it update automatically? (Battery wise)

Use setTimeout once from the load event event of the container.
A period of 1 second should not be too noticeable, 1 minute is really invisible.
Having to set the timer in the container prevents this widget from being autonomous, but I hope it will be possible to “package” scripts in the future.
Maybe try to Paint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.Round), it will avoid sharp edges at the needle ends.

setTimeout-script on the load of the panel, I’ll try. Thanks!
The edges in the centre, i covered with a little circle. 😉

Pierre Hébert after a few hours of trail and error, i’m lost. The clock is a panel with label “LLA”.
The script got to it by:
var widget = LL.getEvent().getItem().getParent().getItemByLabel(“LLA”);
Do I need the load-event of the panel-LLA or from the panel containing this panel?
And how do I address it?
So I can do:
widget.setBoxBackground(img, “ns”);

This must be done in the container of the item. I would suggest to use a dummy shortcut instead of a panel if possible (cheaper, needs less resources).
In the load event of the container you can do something like this:
var PERIOD = 1000; // ms
var ITEM = “LLA”
var widget = LL.getEvent().getItem().getParent().getItemByLabel(ITEM);
var update = function() {
// update the image here
var img =
widget.setBoxBackground(img, “ns”);
// set the timer again
setTimeout(update, PERIOD);
}
// initiate the periodic update
update();

I would suggest to use the load event of your desktop.

On load LL.getEvent().getItem() is null. 🙁

LL.getEvent().getContainer().getItemByLabel(“LLA”)

Lukas Morawietz that does indeed not throw an exception. But my next statement widget. getWidth does 🙁

< ![CDATA[
In which load event did you set it?
In how many panels is the clock?
My line should work, if you have it in the load event of the desktop and the clock (the panel) is directly on the desktop

1 panel-LLA in a panel-X of my current desktop. On the load event of panel-X I set the script.

As proof of concept i wil add a fresh desktop and try.

I think the script needs some kind of delay. It works from context-menu
