Vista Clock

Vista Clock is yet another gadget that can enhance the appearance of your desktop. It can show you time displayed in analog mode. The app can be seamlessly installed and configured, even by inexperienced users.

The interface of Vista Clock is based on a small frame that you can move to any position on the screen, thanks to the default settings provided by Windows.

By accessing the 'Options' area found in the right-click menu, you can switch through eight different skins for the clock. Most of them have a classical appearance, but some are unconventional, such as the one with the shape of a daisy.

You can write a name for the clock to be displayed on the frame, switch to a different time zone, as well as show the second hand and make it bounce. Unfortunately, the app does not integrate ticking or any other sounds.

Additional features provided by Windows allow you to adjust the frame's opacity level between 20% and 100%, as well as to make the clock stay on top of other windows.

The lightweight tool puts little strain on the computer, as it runs on a low amount of CPU and system memory. It has a good response time and didn't cause the operating system to freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs. Unfortunately, Vista Clock has not received any recent updates. Nevertheless, thanks to its intuitive layout and overall simplicity, novices can quickly learn how to work with this app.
