Islamic Prayer Times description

A gadget to calculate and display your daily prayer times
Islamic Prayer Times is a highly configurable gadget that will help you calculate and display the five daily prayer times.
In undocked mode, the gadget concurrently displays all of the information in a single view. Here are some key features of "Islamic Prayer Times":
Location:
· The user can search for a location by typing the city, country, and / or region / state in the search text box and then select one from the list of results in the drop down when a search completes, or can select Custom Location to enter a specific latitude and longitude.
· If necessary, the user can specify the start and end dates of daylight savings time. For the US and Canada, this capability should be ignored because it is already taken into account in the calculations.
Method:
· The option to specify one of seven different types of prayer time calculation methods: Egyptian, Shafi, Hanafi, ISNA, Muslim World League, Umm al-Qurra, and Fixed Isha.
· For extreme latitude (high North or South locations) calculations, one of fourteen different options can be selected, as well as a Nearest Latitude value for those options that require it, e.g. Nearest Latitude All Prayers Always
· One of four different options for rounding seconds can be selected: None, Normal, Special, and Aggressive.
· The option to select either the Shafi or Hanafi school of thought shadow ratio for Asr prayer time calculation.
Parms:
· Calculation angles and intervals in degrees can be entered for Fajr, Imsaak, and Isha times. These values are set to the defaults of the currently selected prayer times calculation method.
· Prayer time adjustments in minute offsets can be entered.
Adhan / Misc:
· An adhan file on disk can be browsed to, or one of four adhan sounds can be selected: Makka, Al-Aqsa, Bosnia, or Turkey. The user can listen to the audio by pressing the play button next to Adhan Sound drop down.
· The Blink Prayer Message option can be selected to display a blinking adhan message when the time for prayer comes and the option to play the adhan for that prayer is not selected, e.g. "Fajr Time!"
· The ability to turn on/off the adhan sound for each of the prayer times.
· Adhan volume adjustment.
· One of thirteen different themes for gadget display can be selected.
· The option to display a timer to the next prayer time or a digital clock.
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Fixed a bug where the prayer times of locations 12+ hours ahead of the local time of the user, were being calculated for the following day of the current location time.
· Fixed a bug where the blink prayer time message was displaying the next prayer instead of the current one if the docked/undocked mode was switched while currently blinking.
· Fixed a bug that allowed the user to save invalid settings by pressing "OK" on the settings dialog when the service is not available.
· Made some layout changes to the settings dialog.
· Added the capabilities to select a 24 Hour clock, turn on/off the seconds display, and specify a standard (m/d/yyyy) or non-standard (d/m/yyyy) format.
· Added caching of the current day's prayer times so when the user reboots the machine, the service becomes unavailable upon reboot, and the user's local time is within the current day's prayer times, the gadget will continue to function for the day.
