It creates a widget on the desktop that tracks your sobriety (based on the date at the top of the file). It keeps up with days, weeks, months, and years. It also dynamically resizes to fit the content in the widget, can be click and dragged, and can be closed via the notification tray.
New versions can be found on pastebin first, unless there's much interest on this forum: https://pastebin.com/mH9WhZGK
To Do: maybe add some random quotes, in gui-configuration, & maybe track statistics over time if the count ever resets.
Code: Select all
/*
Version:
0.46 Update the Desktop Widget without making it show on top of anything else.
0.45 Added more user editable values at the top of the file
0.44 Show "it's a new day" for either the start of a new week, or someones first day.
0.43 added dynamic width calculation. I think that can be done via the gui itself, but it's less fun that way.
0.42 removed the taskbar button, now it has to be closed from the notification tray.
0.41 made the window transparent, dynamically resizes a bit, tracks weeks, removed borders/title bar.

Ok, this assertion will not support a restart of the PC. 
), it's perhaps more work than necessary. The script file can act as the source of the data.
. The reason why my script doesn't show the total number of days is because I only allocated 3 digits for that field in this line in the script (which represents the widest field in the Gui):
