I just love this clock. It is absolutely beautiful...I downloaded the .exe file as well and put a shortcut to it on my Windows Start button list. I click it to start the clock, click the right knob to put it down from full screen into a window, drag that window to my number two monitor and open it to full size there...Fabulous :dancer:

Thats Brilliant!

Really like it, makes a bit of a difference from the standard screensavers, thanks for the link.

Does it move Peter?

I mean the clock not the hands because if stationary it's not much of a screensaver as the idea is to not have the same image in the same position eventually burning the screen. :think:

Nice clock though :)

Hi Garry :)

Just had a look and it remains static.. but working. Not tried the .scr file so perhaps that one does. We'll see ;-)

EDIT..
No Garry.. it doesn't move around the screen ;-)

With modern screens there is absolutely no need for any "screensaving"...It is just a very nice thing to come up when you want it to, on your screen. I call them mainly from an Icon rather than let Windows switch them on...That way I can have the Mig 15 Clock filling my number two monitor and Marine Aquarium filling the main monitor. Marine Aquarium will vanish when I move the mouse but I use the .exe file for the Clock and it sits there in a "Macromedia Flash Player 6" window and other things can just plonk on top of it while they are being used (FSNav map for instance)...I must say that clock and aquarium look just great on my monitors :flying:

Not a very sharp shot from my rather outdated digital camera :-(
