10.4: Personalise the World Clock widget
Authored by: ebukva on Jul 25, '05 08:48:06PM

The other day I noticed that Apple's world clock widget changes the
background of the clock from black to white and vice versa not
according to the real daylight conditions but according to some fixed
schedule (when I walked out of the room it was still day outside but
the clock had turned black).

Now, Apple's documentation for Dashboard says that this is the purpose
of the color switch:
"The clock's background changes from white to black to indicate day
and night." (http://images.apple.com/macosx/pdf/MacOSX_Dashboard_TB.pdf)

Is there a way (or has it been done?) to hack the clock widget so that
it pulls the data about the sunrise and sunset times in my area and
change the background of the clock accordingly?
