An amusing clock
Monday, February 18, 2002 by snozzberry | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I found this clock program while surfing around and it has amused me so much that I have deleted beatnik and thought I would share with some random people.
It is called Ghrone and can be found at http://software.garoo.net/. Current version: v.0.271.
It is a clock that displays on your desktop or on top of everything else and this program is under development currently, not something someone put on their website a long time ago and forgot about. It's features in order of what amuses me most:
a) transparency controllable
skinnable (although there are no skins anywhere to download since this is a relatively new program [but it is I suppose easy to skin since I made one myself and I have never skinned anything before])
c) re-color-able
d) resizable
e) seconds display optional and 24hour/12hour display
f) draggable unlike rainlendar if anyone know what that is
g) starts with windows so you can forget about it
h) requires no installation
ok, I think I have covered almost all of the features so everyone with winxp or 2000 should check this out. Oh, one warning: don't judge it by it's first appearance, I found the default skin kindof lacking, but if you fiddle around with the configuration, it will be pretty.

Looks neat. I'll give it a try some time.
You're the developper of it?

Ha ha, wish I was talented enough to make a useful program. I just found it and am very amused.
