Hello UEZ

This is a great widget just like I was looking for. I really love it.
Thank you very much.

I am not a developer guy. I didn't find another way to contact you
I would like to know if you could add too more options :
- show/hide the second hand, because it always catches my eye :)
- show/hide the date you added in the latest version

Regards

A better option for showing/hiding the second hand would be to add another option allowing you to select the second hand for a short period of time, say 30 seconds, with automatic activation when the mouse passes over it, when the widget starts, or any other event, and it would then disappear automatically after this customizable or non-customizable delay.
In this way, the spirit of the clock is preserved, while allowing you to remain concentrated without being disturbed by the perpetual movement of the seconds.

What do you think about it ?

I'll see what I can do. :wink:
Btw, how did you find out about the watch?

I will update the thread when done.


Btw, you can disable the date by editing the ini file and set ShowDate=0.

Thank you UEZ

With google image search I initially found the watch on softpedia .

Then thanks to the nfo file I arrived here (because I don't speak German.

EDIT
I don't have the ini file
In the source code, I see how your software get the parameter
bShowDate = Cubyte(_WinAPI_IniRead(sPath2Ini, "Settings", "ShowDate", Str(1)))

I found the ini file, thank you :)

Regards

The ini file will be generated automatically in the same folder after 1st run. Anyhow, I added your request - please see 1st post for download option.
I've change the ShowDate value in the ini file, thus 0 is not a valid value anymore (-1, 1 only).

Please test and reply, if it is working for you (-> rmb on the tray icon -> Settings Second Hand -> Show second hand only on hover over clock).
