i cant think - digital clock display on gnome panel

In tips & tricks on 3 April 2010 tagged gnome, themes, tweaks with no comments

this is quickest & simplest hack to get a digital clock display on your gnome panel without installing any applet.

all you need to do is add this code to your theme gtkrc file and install a digital font

locate it in ~/.themes/yourthemename/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
and then add this at the bottom of gtkrc file

style "digital-clock"
{
font_name = "Ds-Digital Bold 17"
fg[NORMAL] = "#969696"
}
widget "*Panel*Clock*" style "digital-clock"

and then simply restart your panel using killall gnome-panel command

i'm using DS-Digital Font but you can use any other font that look that you like and if you have other good font to suggest, please let me know.
