Replace your default Windows clock

Alwact Clock is a desktop clock which features an alarm function and some very stylish skins.

I have to say that the default skin looks very nice. What i like is that inside of the clock you have displayed the day and the date.

The aspect that i noticed is that if you click on the clock and then scroll up or down, you are able to change the skin.

However, what i don't like is that there are not to many skins available.

Now lets explore the options of the program. To access them, you need to click right on the clock.

In Alarm you get the chance to set an alarm. A very cool function here is Snooze. Basically, the moment you stop the alarm, after a specified period of time it will be launched again.

Also, what is excellent is that the application allows you to replace the default alarm sound with your favorite mp3 track.

Going to Skin Folder, here can be accessed the folder with all the available skins.

In Opacity you can select from values that are ranging from 5% to 100% and in Zoom may be changed the default size of the clock.

Some other options that are offered by the program: Refresh Delay, Auto Restart, Click Through and Show Date.

Alwact Clock in my opinion can successfully replace the default Windows clock.

However, it's a shame that there isn't available a much larger number of skins.

Good:

-nice looking skins
-you can replace the default alarm sound with an mp3
-snooze function
-the skins can be changed just by scrolling up or down

Bad:

-you are offered only 6 skins

Alwact Clock is an analog desktop clock featuring mp3 alarm, skins, transparency and zoom. It is possible to display the date and make the clock click-through. Using multi-touch touchpad, the mouse wheel or keyboard shortcuts, you can alternate between skins and set the zoom level. You can also make your own skins using any image edition software supporting PNG. 'Always On Top' (dis/en)able : An option has been added to the context menu. If you desire to have the Alwact Clock widget (partially) hidden by other windows, uncheck this option. An icon will be added to the system tray for fast access. On-screen distance measurement : When you want to measure the distance between 2 points on your screen, activate the Alwact Clock by clicking on it, hold the Shift key ('Shift' on most keyboards) and move your mouse between the two positions, a dialog will show when you release the control key, displaying the initial and final position, as well as the distance between them. Enhanced automatic repositioning : When a portion of the clock widget is out of the screen after a zoom or a screen resolution change (full screen video, full screen game), an icon will be added to the system tray. By double-clicking on it, the clock widget will be repositioned to fit into the screen. Skin folder access : Open the skin folder directly from the clock widget contextual menu.
