Introduction
This is a simple clock that sits on your desktop. The basic idea behind this program is very simple. In our 3D world, a logical place for a clock is hanging on the wall, or sitting somewhere on top of the desk. Desktop Clock aims to provide you the right time by placing a clock on your machine's desktop wallpaper. Of course, that means you will have to sacrifice some desktop space, and maybe rearrange a couple of icons.
Background
