An easy to use Yahoo! widget that allows you to view the current time and date, set alarms and sound notifications with minimum effort.
Written by Elena Opris
Steampunk Clock Calendar is a
lightweight app that changes the way you verify the current time.
Designed for Yahoo! Widget Engine, the widget displays a steampunk clock
and calendar directly on your desktop.
The interface of the tool is user-friendly. So, you can check out the current date and time, in both analog and digital format.
By accessing the 'Widget Preferences' area found in the right-click menu, you can enable an alarm and configure settings for the digital clock when it comes to the clock type, counter reset movement and counter reset time.
The analog clock's pendulum can be set to swing, while the clock's size may be selected between large, medium and small. Additionally, you can enable chimes and ticking sounds, as well as adjust the volume.
Thanks to some options provided by the Yahoo! Widget Engine, you may also make the tool stay on top or below all the other windows, ignore mouse events and prevent dragging. Last but not least, you can adjust the frame's opacity level between 20% and 100%.
The lightweight and simple-to-use utility barely leaves a mark on the computer's resources, since it uses a low amount of CPU and system memory. It has a good response time and didn't cause the operating system to freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs during our evaluation.
