Transparent Clock

Transparent Clock is a small software application whose purpose is to help you place a digital clock on your desktop that allows you to read the time with ease. The tool can be deployed on all Windows versions out there. In order to make use of the program’s capabilities correctly and avoid bumping into all sorts of errors, you need to install Microsoft .NET Framework on the target computer.

After a fast and simple installation process where you only need to press on a few ‘Next’ buttons in order to complete the job, you are welcomed by a clean layout. The utility automatically places the clock on your screen and can be found sitting quietly in the system tray without disturbing you with popup notifications and other types of messages.

A help manual cannot be found in the package, but you can quickly get an idea about how the application works.

Transparent Clock reveals the time in hours, minutes, and seconds, and provides information about the AM or PM mode. The digital clock is kept on top of other windows. You can control the utility via the system tray. You are allowed to hide the clock and exit the program.

Tests have pointed out that the tool carries out a task quickly and without errors. It is not a resource hog so you do not have to worry that it affects the overall performance of the computer. You may keep it running in the background.

On the downside, there’s no support for advanced features so you cannot play hourly chimes, set up audio alarms, change the looks of the clock with the aid of different skins and colorful themes, and adjust its transparency, just to name a few suggestions.

If you are looking for nothing more than a simple clock with limited functionality, you may give Transparent Clock a try and see what it can do for you.
