G-Clock

G-Clock is a desktop clock that shows the current time and lets you set up alarms effortlessly.

The application can be used to schedule a computer shutdown at a user-defined time in the same way you create a new alarm.

While the interface of the clock is pretty much basic, there are some things that can be changed from the configuration screen, such as the color, font, size and transparency level. There are no skins whatsoever, so G-Clock isn't quite impressive when it comes to its appearance.

A System Tray icon is also available while the clock runs in background, so you have one-click access to both the clock and the calendar.

On the other hand, G-Clock comes with various customization options for both the clock and the calendar. You can configure different sounds for various actions, as the app offers WAV support.

G-Clock isn't quite the best app in this particular software category, but the program works flawlessly on all Windows versions and it doesn't require administrator privileges to run on Windows 7 workstations. No help manual is available, but chances are that nobody needs one since everything's so simple.

To sum up, G-Clock is quite a simple way to enhance your desktop, although advanced users may find the application rather disappointing. It lacks essential configuration options and offers just an average feature package that could only appeal to very beginners.
