I know what you're thinking, there have been a bunch of "specialized" clocks lately, why do we need another? Answer: because the purpose of Rainmeter is to put as many time-telling devices on your desktop at once. And so, I give you the Polar Clock.
The polar clock is actually a "port" of a screensaver I've always been fascinated with. Sometimes I just leave it running and let the hypnotic twirl of the seconds lull me to sleep. But I digress. Each ring on the clock represents a different component of the time. From the outside-in, they are the hour, minute, second, day of the week, day of the month and finally the month on the innermost circle. You can also right-click the clock in order to show or hide the numbers.
The clock was mostly just a sort of "see-if-I-can-do-it project", but if you guys like it then you are welcome to use it:
UPDATE: The clock has been modified to add colour cycling, optional greyscale and an improvement on the method used to smooth out the seconds.

Re: Polar Clock
verry cool one, and big but i like it
you have to put the seconds number a little more to left about 5 pixels or 10, and the day of week is 1 day ahead, I'm using rainmeter 1.0, maybe is because of this, or you put the weekday to start on sunday, my week begins on monday
will you release a smaller version?

Zero at programing, zero at writing codes, so far 2 at making images
But I'm good at copy/paste, and I not always like this

hehe. yeah, it seems that putting as many clocks on your desktop as possible has become something like an addiction to some peopleAlex2539 wrote:I know what you're thinking, there have been a bunch of "specialized" clocks lately, why do we need another?

Re: Polar Clock
Go for it. Half the reason I post anything anywhere is with the hope that someone else will be able to run with it.
