So many clocks today still employ the flip-clock or 7-segment LED display aesthetic that is at least 20 years old. Given that we now have high resolution displays and very high-quality fonts available, I wanted to make a simple clock that took advantage of these improvements as an alternative to the “retro” clocks that are mostly available.
The clock itself is basic—just time, day, and date. It’s designed to sit in the corner of your screen and float over everything else. But you can modify the *look* of the clock in many ways, by using different fonts and by modifying the clock and background colors. Other visual options include adding a border, using rounded corners, drop shadows and inner shadows. The clock is also infinitely resizable so you can make it any size you need to fit in your work area. Because there can be so many visual options, there is also a mechanism to save your favorites designs and call them up later. You can see the features of BasicClock here: BasicClock Read Me.pdf <http://designeq.com/deq/software/Welcome%20to%20BasicClock%20V2.04.pdf> and download it here: BasicClock V2.04.zip <http://designeq.com/deq/software/BasicClock%20V2.04.app.zip> Note that you might have to “allow” this clock to run in the Security & Privacy control panel if you have Gatekeeper running on your Mac. BasicClock is free and currently runs only under OS X. Enjoy. (BasicClock was inspired by the Clearview desktop clock by Hugh Senior.) -- Regards, Howard Bornstein ----------------------- www.designeq.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
