DateTime Docky for AmigaOS 4.x, is a plugin for the AmiDock toolbar system.
The project was originally started by Fredrik Wikstrom and updated by
Massimiliano Scarano (2011).

*************************************************************************
WARNING: FIRST BACKUP YOUR PREVIOUS 'DateTime.docky.xml' (located on same
         path as 'DateTime.docky'). Version 52.10 has internal changes in
         'DateTime.docky.xml' and it should take care of old->new XML.
*************************************************************************

This is an enhancement over DateTime Docky V52.10:
 - Added greek catalog (THX phantom)
 - Fixed rendering too many time chars showing garbage '[][]'
 - Added/Created CodeBench project file
 - Avoid duplicated reminder-dates
 - See 'History:' for more information



Installation:
1. Two modes/options:
  a)Shell/CLI: COPY DateTime.docky(|.info) SYS:Utilities/Dockies/ CLONE
  b)Workbench: drag&drop DateTime.docky icon in SYS:Utilities/Dockies/
   NOTE: Your "original" icon and tooltypes will be overwritten.
2. Add docky to AmiDock toolbar system.
3. Copy <language>/DateTime_docky.catalog to LOCALE:Catalogs/<language>/
4. Not always necessary: Reboot (soft) your Workbench/System.



Settings:
Docky settings can be changed by modifying the icon's tooltypes. An example
icon (tooltypes) is kindly provided by zzd10h (in Source drawer).
Currently these tooltypes are used by the docky:

                              - USA or mm-dd-yy
                              - CDN or dd-mm-yy

                   to disable SHADOWCOLOR set it to 0ff0ff (ZERO ff ZERO ff)

                   "today" is a "special" day (default=00FFFF)

Reminders window:
-RMB over docky, 'Reminders...' to edit ..erm..reminders!? ;-)
-ADD entry:
 1)Choose MONTH and insert DAY.

   the 'Execute Command' string gadget.

will popup a small window (reminder) with TEXT and stay REMIND_TIME
and/or if you entered a COMMAND it will be executed (only one time).

 1)Select entry and click [Remove].
 2)Click [Save] button or you will loose any modification.
