Gnome Hebrew calendar applet

3 Comments | Posted by Moishe Beshkin in Reviews

Using Linux as a computer OS, I looker for a simple and user-friendly program for displaying Jewish dates.
Google helps as usual and I found HDate applet for Gnome.

Ubuntu has it in main repositories.

$ sudo apt-get install hdate-applet

After installation just add applet to panel. In my Gnome with Ubuntu 9.10 it looks like this.
gHcal - Hebrew Calendarghcal_applet

Unfortunately, not everything is so good as we want. Seems that development finished in February 2008. So, some issue still persist in the program.
ghcal_options
Leave Time Zone setting value 0.00. Otherwise it will plus to current time timezone difference.
