For human readable information, both digital and analog display methods can be useful.
For instant information at-a-glance, analog meters are often superior. Many people glance quickly at their analog watch and immediately know roughly what the time is.
Analog Clock is an analog, skinnable, Windows tray clock replacement. The careful study of the shape and proportion of the numbers, the thickness of the screen-printing, and the color of the background all ensure instant readability from various distances and angles.
Analog Clock is perfect for both your office desktop as well as your home PC.
Analog Clock is available with several skins that resemble the look and feel of the standard XP visual styles. Skins are tunable. You can switch on or off some of the interface elements, such as the second hand, for example.
Analog Clock is an NTP-enabled application. It will update your system clock time, synchronizing it with atomic clocks through the Internet. In addition, the program shows a skinnable quick calendar window. (Just move your mouse over the Analog Clock display.)
In the era of robotic Mars explorations, humans still prefer more human-oriented devices on Earth! Use analog clocks, and leave the digits to robots!
