Gerz Clock

When it comes to their computers, users are always looking for new ways to enhance their desktops, whether we're talking about wallpapers, screensavers, theme packs, icons or gadgets.

Gerz Clock is a lightweight gadget, which displays time in analog mode directly on your desktop. It can be seamlessly installed and configured by less experienced users.

The interface of the app consists of a small frame that shows the analog clock. If you hover your mouse over it, you can also check out digital time.

Gerz Clock supports a total number of five skins for the interface; you can switch to any of them by accessing the 'Options' screen from the right-click menu.

Thanks to the default settings provided by the operating system, you may also move the frame to any spot on the screen by using the mouse cursor, make it stay on top of all the other windows, increase its size, as well as adjust its opacity level between 20% and 100%.

The small tool puts little strain on the computer's resources, as it uses a low amount of CPU and system memory. It is very responsive to commands and didn't cause Windows to freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs during our evaluation; we have not come across any issues.

On the downside, the clock does not integrate sounds (e.g. chimes) and does not come with additional settings to be configured, such as allowing you to switch to a different time zone. But, all in all, Gerz Clock is a stylish alternative to the default clock offered by the operating system.
