FunnyClock

Developed for the Yahoo! Widget Engine, FunnyClock is a tool that displays time in analog mode, directly on your desktop. It comes with a lot of skins, and can be seamlessly installed and configured, even by beginners.

The interface of the application is based on a small layout. By default, the clock's skin is set to 'Rainbow'; it does not display numbers on the clock face but only the current day number.

This option can be changed from the 'Widget Preferences' area where you can select a skin between the 24 available presets. Some have interesting layouts, such as 'Smile', 'Centaure', 'Rainbow' and 'Touch', while others preserve a more conventional style (e.g. 'Ancien' 'Vintage').

You can apply time markers to the clock, or hide the current day number, as well as adjust the clock's size by using a slider.

Thanks to some default features provided by the Yahoo! Widget Engine, you can make the app stay on top or below other windows, ignore mouse events and to prevent dragging. But you can also adjust the opacity level of the frame, between 20% and 100%.

The lightweight software app barely uses system resources, so it doesn't put a strain on the computer. It was stable during our tests; no error dialogs have popped up and FunnyClock did not freeze or crash. Unfortunately, the 'Widget Preferences' area is only available in the French language. FunnyClock has not been updated for a long time.
