Be it a home screen of a smartphone, a tablet or an iPod touch music player, if I were to say that almost all of us like to sport a cool and elegant clock widget on it, I would not be exaggerating. If we do so on our handhelds then why deprive our desktop of those neat looking clocks.

Indeed Windows 7 and Vista come with a clock, and even clock gadgets, but what we are going to talk about today is no way similar to them. We will introduce you to two simple yet amazing digital desktop clocks that will recreate the feel of the digital clocks on smartphones (may be better than that). Let us check them out.

Horloger

Horloger (tip sent by our reader Ahmad) is a HTC Style desktop clock gadget for Windows Vista and 7. Though its default looks are somewhat like the HTC sense clock, it can be customized easily with skins. Once you download, install and run the clock you will see the digital clock somewhere on your desktop wallpaper.

Click and drag the clock to set its position on the screen. Once you are satisfied with the position right click on the clock and select lock from the context menu. The clock position will then be locked avoiding any accidental displacement.

To fiddle with the clock, right click on it and select settings. You can now decide whether you want to display seconds or minutes count, try different skins, and set the transparency.

On the date and time tab you can select the date and time format.

The position tab allows us to set one of the three default positions for the clock manually. You can always click and drag the clock anywhere on the screen by checking the manual position option.

The clock starts automatically with Windows. Over all Horologer is a decent clock and while testing it I noticed a memory usage of 75mb (average) along with a CPU usage of 8-12%. The results might vary on your computer though.

HTC Home

HTC Home is yet another artistic HTC sense like clock gadget for your Windows desktop. Along with a digital clock, just like Horloger, HTC Home also comes with weather forecast. To get started, as usual, download, install and run the clock application.

Click and drag the clock to position it on your desktop. Once you make up your mind right click anywhere on the clock pin it.

To configure the clock right click again on the clock but this time select options. Network utility x 4 2 1.

On the general tab you can configure the date & time settings along with user interface, update and language settings.

On the weather tab you can configure your current location to get weather updates from MSN.

On the style tab you can change the widget's looks and style. Select the new style you want to apply and press the ok button. Once you select a theme the clock will apply the changes and restart automatically with a different look.

Comparing the memory usage HTC Home consumed around 75Mb memory with a CPU usage of 28-32% which is pretty high. Again, you gotta test it at your end and see how it works. It might be a small price to pay for this dashing gadget.

What are the benefits of having an offline World Clock Software?

A world clock on your Windows desktop can help you significantly with organizing your daily life, if you are dealing with people in different time zones. Employees must know the office hours for their collegues and customers in other countries, brokers have to know the opening hours of stock exchanges. And for everybody else it is good and useful to know what time it is in a distant city, where a friend or relative is living, so you know when you can call him or her or expect an answer to an email.

Although it is easy to find websites that show the time in other time zones, it is inconvenient and time consuming to find the exact information you are looking for online, on an ad-cluttered website. Sharp World Clock works offline on your desktop instead - you can have an always accurate world clock program, hidden by default if you like, but visible on demand to show the exact time in any major city on earth.

There are more time zones than you probably are aware of, ranging -12 to +12 hours from UTC and many of them follow complicated daylight saving rules. These rules have to be considered besides the UTC deviation, which makes it difficult to calculate the time difference of two cities, without having a dedicated world clock program. In the northern hemisphere daylight saving rules are in place during the months of summer, while in the southern hemisphere it is active during the winter. Sharp World Clock uses an integrated list of currently 357 IANA time zones, which is updated about 3 times a year. Besides being able to show as many clocks as you like, in every possible design and configuration, this world clock features several additional functions and components, like weather report, alarms, a time zone converter, a calendar widget and more.

This world clock is not just an ordinary time tool, but also an attractive decoration for your desktop and a useful collection of tools for your daily life. Once you have tried it, you will not want to live without it anymore - and a lot of users confirmed that in enthusiastic reviews. Give it a try and join thousends of satisfied users all over the world!

Calendar Widget

This image shows the top right corner of a Windows desktop in an example configuration with a single (undocked) clock, showing the local time and the resizable calendar widget (can show 1, 2, 4 or even 6 months - here set to 2 months, vertically), which is also included in this world clock. You can show your appointments inside the calendar as small triangles in different colors: - appointment details are shown on mouse-over. The calendar uses your local settings, so the first day of the week, the months and the weekday names ar localized. Notice the color gradient - the calendar widget can use a solid color or a color gradient, including partial transparency! A mouse click at the clock shows or hides the main window with several clocks for other cities and time zones. This is a recommended setting, but you can also just have the main window with multiple clocks - hidden by default or visible all the time. (Click to magnify)

Clocks for all Time Zones in the World - with accurate Daylight Saving Time

Clock Desk 1 2 1 – Clock For Your Desktop Wallpaper 1920x1080

Select a preconfigured design from the visual gallery and tweak it as you like! Change fonts, hands, colors, borders, markers, date window, numerals, country flags and more. Clocks can be styled as a group or individually and are losslessly resizable. All functions but the weather report work off-line, without internet connection. Daylight saving rules for each time zone are obeyed accurately, using an integrated time zone database from IANA.org, which is updated 3 or 4 times a year.

Unlimited Analog or Digital Clocks on your Desktop, for any Time Zone

There is no loss in visual quality, when resizing the clocks: they can be tiny or huge and anything in between (the graphics are using WPF, which is a layer on DirectX). Clocks can be in analog or digital mode. Country flags, borders are optional, like all other details. You can modify colors, fonts, borders, date/time format and everything else for all clocks or individually. Clocks can be in a row, line or grid or single (undocked). If not needed all the time, they can be hidden and shown with a hotkey or a click at an undocked clock.

Time Converter and Meeting Planner - Convert easily from one Time Zone to any other

The integrated Time Zone Converter can easily convert the time from one time zone to another. Daylight Saving is taken into account precisely, thanks to the most accurate and up-to-date IANA time zone database. The Meeting Planner makes arranging meetings across multiple time zones a snap.

Alarms and Timers for Local Time or any Time in the World

Set alarms and count-down alarms in the sophisticated Alarm Center
Slide-in notifications can have different colors
Single Alarms - show a reminder on any given date and time, local time or the time in any city
Daily Alarms - repeat an alarm each day at a given time or only on selected weekdays
Annual Alarms - show an alarm on a certain date each year (plus warning 1.10 days before)
Count-Down Alarms - set a timespan (hours and minutes, up to 100 hours)
Chimes - hear a sound signal or hear spoken time
Optionally play a sound file (WAV, MP3, WMA, once or looped) or speak the alarm message

Weather Reports for every major City in the World

Weather Report and Forecast

One of the integrated tools of this world clock is a world wide weather report, which is updated every 2 hours. It shows the current weather conditions, a 3-hours-interval forecast for the current day and the forecast for the next four days, with minimum/maximum temperature (°Celsius or °Fahrenheit), wind speed and wind direction. Also shown are the sunrise and sunset time and an icon of the current moon phase, with information about the next full moon and new moon.

Info Popup

There is an optional info tooltip/popup, visible on mouse-hover on any clock, showing some additional information, including the current weather for the selected city:

Date/Time strings in the interface are using local language settings (here: German), but the digital clocks can use any language for the time and date.

Dim Clocks outside Daytime or customizable Office Hours

You can easily distinguish cities within and outside a certain time span ('office hours', the default is 8 AM - 5 PM) by dimming

Clock Desk 1 2 1 – Clock For Your Desktop Wallpaper Wallcoverings

clocks outside that time span. This is adjustable from 0% to 90%. Instead of office hours you can also select the daylight hours (time between sunrise and sunset) of every city in the world clock.

Variable Date/Time Format and Design - multiple Hands and Clock Face Options; 24 Hours Clocks

This world clock features 13 variations of hour/minute hands and 10 variations for second hands available and 6 variations for numerals: 4/6/12 positions upright, 12 positions rotated, 4/12 roman numerals.

24 Hour Clock

The last clock shows the 24 hour mode, where the hour hand makes a full rotation in 24 instead of 12 hours.

New in version 8.6: Sky Strip (day / night indicator)

The sky strip is an additional indicator for the day/night status of a city. It shows a symbolic representation of the sun, moving at the sky from sunrise to sunset. The height is adjustable (in the screenshot the height is set to 15 of 1.20). During the night the strip is shown black. For users on the southern hemisphere of the earth the direction can be changed from left->right to right->left.

The sky strip can optionally show the office hours status instead (or additional to) the sky simulation. The first and the last hour of office time is shown in a different color.

Exact Time for every Time Zone or City in the World on your Desktop, with correct Daylight Saving Time (DST)

The included city database contains every city with a population of 15,000+ and every capital city. Even an array of 21 world clocks like in this screenshot is no problem for Sharp World Clock, it can easily handle that and many more! The clocks in the picture are using the same design, but this is not required. After assigning a general design template to all clocks, you can make changes to some clocks, to make them look differently:

UTC Clock

Instead of cities you can select UTC/GMT or military time zones for the world clocks - just select 'Time Zones' in the continent list and select the time zone in the city list.
