Pesoguin Digital Clock

Developed for the Yahoo! Widget Engine platform, Pesoguin Digital Clock is a simple widget that displays a digital clock with five alarm functions on your desktop. It is easy to install and set up.

The interface of the widget is a bit unusual, consisting of an animation with a cute penguin. Clicking it reveals a speech bubble with the current time, shown in the 12-hour format.

By opening the context menu, you can schedule up to five alarms simultaneously, by specifying the hour and minute, message and alarm sound. Plus, alarms can be triggered on a regular basis.

A few settings regarding Pesoguin Digital Clock's appearance can be customized from the Widget Preferences panel. You can switch to the 24-clock mode, alter the clock location (top or bottom), color (red, blue or black) and size (50%, 75% or 100%), as well as establish the time interval for changing the penguin's expressions (from 1 to 10 minutes).

The small widget does not put a strain on the computer's overall performance, as it uses a very low amount of CPU and system memory. It has a good response time and works well, without making Windows hang, crash or pop up error notifications. To sum it up, Pesoguin Digital Clock delivers a quick solution for setting up alarm clocks right on your desktop.
