    xclock for windows?

    anybody knows of an xclock ported to windows? i´m looking for a similar program, a very ´bare bones´, stripped down clock that can be left open for ever, which doesn´t eat a lot of resources...
    any info is truly welcomed, thanks.

    mil perdones ;->, an xclock is a linux/unix x11 program, that draws a clock, either an analog or a digital one, using a small window to show the present hour.
    i´m looking one for windows because of two reasons, a- i find the taskbar clock too small, and b- since i´m using a vey handy little program called ´tray magician´, and also the taskbar on the right side of the screen, that program tries to hide the taskbar clock, it is it´s nature to do so, but it makes really hard to see the hour.
    now, i don´t want to kill that program -´tray magician´- because it also provides a very handy tool, it allows you to move a window by ´grabbing´ it anywhere,not just in the title bar.
    the clocks that i found for windows doesn´t convinced me much, therefore i posted here.
    sorry for the long explantion, tho...

    xclock man page: http://linuxcommand.sourceforge.net/...s/xclock1.html

    an image of one. look at the upper right hand corner, the blue one: http://xwinman.org/screenshots/twm-thomas.jpg

    and another image, this time in the lower left corner, ana analog one: http://xwinman.org/screenshots/twm-cjmckenzie.gif

    I use the clock which comes with Windows Powertoys - size 16K. Not as pretty, but it uses very little resources, works in analogue/digital, square or round shape.

    I wouldn't be paranoid if everyone wasn't out to get me...
    Anyone can make a mistake - to make a really good job of it use a computer.

    Right Click on the Desktop, go to Properties, Appearance.

    Under ITEM select Inactive title bar and you can change the size of the taskbar and the clock.

    thanks a lot rambler, i´ve totally forgotten about the clock from power toys, i´m using it right now... ja, thanks men. like you say, not as pretty, and sure as hell not as configurable, but what the hell... thanks. power toys has the most usefull stuff that msft has, to the best of knowledge, ´x mouse´, and now this ´clock´, ja, ja, thanks.
    sorry to say, murf, i could´t accomplish what you recommended, if i do what you told me, i don´t see any ´clock related´ setting... thanks, tho.
