Re: Prayer time

[Moustafa Elqabbany <elqabbany at yahoo dot com>]

wa alaikum assalam.

 

just my opinion, but I think the program should have an English name as well, so people can find it during google searches.  Also, non-Arabs will be interested in it too.

Here what I am thinking about

1- I will Test the sources code for prayer time and hijry and then upload
the best code it to CVS (ITL) .

Here is what I have right now :

http://www.4-sms.com/u/03/10/msx-ITimer21.tar.gz
http://www.4-sms.com/u/03/10/msx-praytimer.zip
http://www.4-sms.com/u/03/10/msx-praytoday_code.zip

I will test them insh'a Allah with http://ceri.kacst.edu.sa/index.php?l=a&p=riyadh_city_year_a.php&m=blank_menu.htm

(I hope if anyone can test them with me and then vote for the best one)


2- Start making a GUI prayer time based on ITL with the name ( Akim Salatk
) and then CVS the program to ITL/akem_salatak

And here is what I am planning to put in Akim Salatk (or Akem Salatak
:) ) :

1- Run in the Desktop (not in the panel)
2- Display the Hijry & Milady date
3- Display the Athan time and how many hours left
4- Display the Shrok time
5- Display the Imsak time (if we can)
6- Play Makah Addan & Ekamh
7- Play Do'a and Athkar every 10 minutes


I will CVS the best command-line insh'a Allah maximum after 5 days


BTW: about the kprayer, its very nice but the problem its run in KDE
panel and as I remember it's only run in KDE 2


Any comments ?
