Gnome-clocks redesigning work

    I'm writing about the work that I've done so far. I worked on redesigning of "World" module of gnome-clocks. The current application shows the location in square tiles form. To delete any location user has to select the location and then click on the delete button. The below screenshots shows the current gnome-clocks "world" module design.

Locations shown as square tiles

Select locations and then click on delete to delete them

The new that I've implemented has a horizontally scrollable view of locations and there is a close icon which deletes the location. Screenshot is given below.

Close button deletes the location and new design

This implementation has still some bugs such as calculating the size of a tile on window resize and fitting the tiles perfectly in the window. Close button's event box is horizontally expanded so clicking at any place in close button row,  deletes location.

After this I was supposed to work on "New" button popover according to my proposed timeline but the implementation has some issues and other high priority work is there so I switched and started working on "Alarm" component of gnome-clocks. I'm currently working on it. 

The new design is really great but there are some features or design parts which are debatable for different options and different implementations and we're working on it.

GSoC-2015 Introduction

Gnome-clocks redesign (GSoC'15)

    It seems a bit late for introduction so I'll mainly talk about what my project is about for google summer of code, 2015 and what I've done so far. Lasse Schuirmann is my mentor for this project who has been very supportive.

    To begin with the project details, this is the link to abstract of my project: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2015/srp201201051/5738600293466112. I'm basically working on redesigning of gnome-clocks and adding some new features in gnome-clocks.

    In the redesigning, total three out of four components of gnome-clocks will be redesigned - world, alarm and timer.

Current design:

• World and Alarm has tile view currently. 
• While adding a new location in gnome-clocks, a dialog  is shown to select a location and add it to gnome-clocks.
• There are no labels for alarms.
• In timer component, only one timer is allowed so instead of that multiple timers feature is proposed.

This is the link to the mockups for the new design: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sils1297/gnome-mockups/master/clocks/alt/clocks-wireframes-2.png

    I've been working on changing the view of world clock and the patches for the same are submitted but still there are some problems so will be working on it and with that I'll be working on popover feature to add a new location. 

   The new proposed design is smooth and has better UI. Plus some cool features are also proposed so it'd be really helpful to users once the proposed project will be implemented properly.
