mxClock

mxClock is a simple enhancement tool for Windows computers, which shows an analog clock on the desktop. It features a couple of basic customization options that can be tackled with ease by all types of users, even the ones with little or no experience in such software.

The analog clock gets synced to the system clock automatically on startup. It has a transparent circular frame and white hands, which can be moved anywhere on the screen with the help of the mouse cursor.

It's possible to lock the frame, change the hand colors, fill the transparent background with color, as well as make the frame stay on top of other windows.

By default, the program gets auto-launched when you boot your computer, but this option can be disabled to remove its entry from the autorun sequence.

This is a portable application, so there is no setup pack involved. It means that you can copy the downloaded .exe file to a preferred directory on the disk or keep it stored on a USB flash drive, in order to seamlessly launch mxClock on any PC with minimal effort.

It doesn't need libraries or other components to run properly or create files on the disk without letting you know. To get rid of it, you just have to delete this executable.

We haven't experienced any compatibility issues with later Windows versions in our tests, although the app hasn't received updates for a significant amount of time. No error dialogs popped up and it didn't freeze or crash. Unsurprisingly for such a compact utility, it used a low amount of CPU and RAM to function normally, so it didn't hog system resources or interfere with the runtime of other active processes.

To sum it up, mxClock provides you with a simple analog clock for your desktop, backed by some standard and practical customization settings. It's free for non-commercial use.
