Sphere Timer

For all those who use Windows 7 and are passionate about desktop gadgets, here's another fun little one that technically covers all the topics revolving count up, countdown timers, chronometers and alarm clocks.

Sphere Timer is very small and can easily be customized to blend in with your desktop style and theme. The alarm clock has very versatile configuration option, allowing users to load a wide range of audio formats in order to customize the alarm sound.

One more detail in favor of Sphere Timer is the adjustable format of its incorporated clock that is able to show local time, GMT(UTC), decimal and hexadecimal time, universal metric time, and also swatch Internet time.

This minimalistic Windows 7 gadget also features a chronometer that can be used to record multiple entries displayed in a list as 'lap times' and it is very easy to manage, when it comes to its comprehensive user interface.

It has accessible options and can be set to show seconds or AM/PM time format. Nevertheless, the options regarding the alarm clock are more basic than others and the user is virtually incapable of personalizing snooze options.

Sphere Timer is provided with zoom adjustment, with the sole disadvantage that it features only one zoom level.

This small sidebar gadget does its job, has a clean interface and owns up to the services it provides. The downsides of Sphere Timer revolve around the fact that, while the functions provided are usable, they do not feature the complete set of options generally required to meet the user's needs.
