Desktop clocks do not only beautify your computer's screen but are also practical. Many applications offer a bunch of customization settings to create a good-looking digital clock that's easy to spot when you're away from the workstation but still within its range (when doing chores around the house, for example).

ClassicDesktopClock is such a tool but dedicated to Windows nostalgics who want to get reminded of the design of older OS editions, like Windows XP and even Windows 98. It's incredibly easy to configure, as you would expect from such a program.

Two versions, with setup and without it (portable) can be downloaded from this page. The portable edition is ideal if you want to keep ClassicDesktopClock stored on a removable storage device to effortlessly launch it on any PC.

The clock can be positioned anywhere on the screen, and you can bring up its main window to configure settings. For instance, it's possible to tweak the clock's size and transparency, making it stay on top of other windows, disable the clock hand responsible for showing seconds, or make its current position fixed.

The Windows 98 style is selected by default but you can explore other themes from Windows XP, Vista and 7, to futuristic versions like Windows 11 and 12. Most themes have a unique style but their colors can be changed into anything you want. Colors can be restored to default anytime. Also, you can instruct the application to automatically run as soon as you turn on the computer.

Taking everything into account, ClassicDesktopClock is an application that should be able to stir the curiosity of Windows nostalgics interested in customizing a desktop clock. It has both analog and digital modes.
