When this happens, I cannot click on any of the Finder menu options at the top of my screen (The apple logo, the application menu, File, Edit, View, etc). This seems to happen particularly after the clock has been covered up for an extended period of time. What I don't love is the fact that it will, at times, cause my Finder menu to become unresponsive. I love that I can customize it to some extent. I love that I can size the clock face to any size I want. I love that it can be placed on the desktop and be unobtrusive. Or if that's all just a little distracting, then you can always turn the sound off altogether with a click.I like this app. There's an option to play the sounds only between two specified times, so for instance they could keep you amused at lunchtime but disappear when you get back to work. You can alternatively have the program use your own WAV or MID files, though.

You can add additional time zones, set transparency, or add an optional 3D border around the clock.īy default the program plays genuine Westminster chimes on the quarter, half and full hour (a real dusty old grandfather clock sound, full of atmosphere). The clock can be positioned anywhere you like on the screen, be optionally placed on top of other windows, and use your choice of font, text and background colour. You can customise the precise format of the date and time by entering custom format strings, for instance. But if you're not happy with that then you can tweak the display in many different ways. Once installed, the program will by default immediately add the current date and time to the top right-hand corner of your desktop. DS Clock is a free and highly configurable desktop clock.
