Friendly question: does anyone know of any software that can display the day of the year on the Kubuntu taskbar?
Do you mean September 1, 2026?
Or do you mean the specific number in terms of 365 days?
do you mean like date +%j ?
you can use
or
to display the result in your panel or on the desktop.
Is that Comic Sans
Yes, that’s the Comic Sans MS font. If you’d like to install this font in Kubuntu, you’ll find instructions here:
date +%j results in 245 today
and you said you wanted it in the task bar, so you would need the widget to display the value.
if you wanted to add the th on the end you could run this command instead.
echo $(date +%j)th which give the widget output that looks like this
Blockzitat
Where should I insert this code?
you mean this code echo $(date +%j)th ?
you insert it into the widget configuration, but first you have to install the widget and add it to your panel or desktop.
since it’s a 3rd party widget you will have to use the Get New… button from the add a widget dialog and go searching for the name “command output”
install that, and then add the widget to your panel or where ever you want to place it
now you can right click on the widget and choose configure from the menu
Sorry, but I still don’t know how or where to create a new widget…
do you know how to right click on the desktop and enter edit mode?
from there you should find an Add Widget… button somewhere
from the widget picker there will be a button labeled Get New…
it will take you to a search for 3rd party widgets.
search for the Command Output widget and install it.
now it will appear in the widget picker and you can add it to your desktop or panel
Hello, there is a widget that does this and is called “Time Progress Bar”
install this widget from the widget installer and then install it in your panel and change the settings to reach your goal
%d/D% to have days spent and the remaining days of the year.
