Vista Style Analog Desktop Clock for Windows XP
One of the features that regular users seem to love in Windows Vista is the sidebar’s analog clock. Every time I glance at somebody’s desktop in a coffee shop they are using one. Windows XP users are not left out in the cold with the ClocX desktop clock that works similarly.
The clock really looks slick, especially if you choose a nice looking theme:
If you right-click on the clock you can change some of the common options, and also get to the options panel.
The options panel has loads of different options you can choose from… note that you can use the Pin to Desktop option in here and remove Always on top if you want the clock below all the other windows.
On the Appearance tab you can change the theme to any one of the preloaded themes.
From the clock’s right-click menu you can also access the Alarms feature, which is surprisingly full-featured.
Clicking on the New button brings you to the Alarm editor, where you can use the standard options for time, date and recurrence, but you can even set it to launch an application, sound or even a video.
I’m not a big fan of these types of clocks, but it seems like everybody I know loves them, so here you are!

Thanks indeed nice
I’ve seen many people just assume UAC is nothing more then annoying prompts (Even an Apple advertisement did so and they should know better) and a roadblock to them doing things.
I’m going to explain in this post why it is more then that.
Thank you so much. for making me download your clockX
simply the best….fantastic stuff…
it is very well ………………………..
so nice man

My original question was ‘why is my Media Manager Services icon disabled’ in my task bar
this gadet is really cool…i must say i had been is search of this for ages n this one…wow…it is really upto standard…keep up the good work!!
hey guys…i hope u’ll bring up other new stuff here too… like for example…virtual plants…solar or lunar phase proceedings and wether n temperature indications for the desktop too!
Wow…This is so Great!!!, Thanx Man
i tried to add the analog clock to my XP taskbar as you explained but when i right-click on the clock all i get is the taskbar options screen, not the one pictured in your graphics above. is it me or what?…thanks
It looks great on my desktop, Thanks!
It realy is great tool!!
I searched for such think since some time and now I found it! The alarm feature is realy helpfull for me!!
Probaby a quick and easy add-on would be a stop watch and also atimer/countdown just to be able to start it when you say you will call the colleague X in 5 min .. or what ever .. in case you do not want to forget something.
Again .. it is a great tool and I thank you for it!!
A superb tool. Thank You very much. I agree with Mihail though. I think it would benefit from a stopwatch/countdown timer plug in. However, even without this, it is still probably the best clock utility I have seen.
This application crashed my windows xp display driver FAR too often with unexplained reboots. It may be eye candy but in good conscience, I cannot recommend it. AT ALL.
waho this is so nice
its very good looking for windows xp
it is so beautiful………………………………
Sometime my voice does not listen on the other end user but i heard their voice,some voice setting problem as it is resolved by shopkeeper easily by changing some setting,please let me know that setting.

Thanks Team SMART CLOCK for my Smart Computer :-}
The Seven Transformation load in MSconfig seems to go looking at your registry for email adresses. AVG detects and reports Malware and trojan behaviour.
The offending code line goes looking under the key root HKLM\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\ [...root sourcing of email addresses] in the registry.
If I am mistaken apologies but I think not as this is with a new install of WindowsXP. I had not created any email addressing in Outlook or other email applications. In searching for my email address it crashed on this Malware trojan like code. Programs that do such things without your permission betray trust in the authors. The code that is embedded should be removed. It only happens when it loads clock and other widgets onto your desktop on WindowsXp start up.
it,s a very nice Software. i want to download it but it create a error in downloading…. i don,t know way.
, yahoo. i am successful for download it. its my Downloading software error. that,s create a trouble in downloading……….. Really it,s very nice Clock……. :)
