World Clock is a desktop clock for Windows. It's designed to make an interesting and attractive feature on your desktop. It shows the current time and date, plus the local time in major cities, overlaid on a world map, which can be shaded to show day, night and twilight areas.
The map display is configurable so you can choose the best view for your location. The options are:
- Whole world, centered on Europe
- Whole world, centered on North America
- Whole world, centered on Australasia
- Europe, Middle East and central Asia
- North America
You can choose, from a database of over 100 cities, which locations to display on the map.
World Clock can pop up a calendar showing the dates for the whole year at a glance.
World Clock can set your computer's system clock using an atomic clock that can be accessed over the Internet. You can choose whether to do this manually, or automatically, using World Clock's internal software or the Windows Time Service (Win2K and XP.) If you have dial-up Internet access, World Clock will wait until you start an Internet connection before trying to contact the atomic clock to perform the update. NEW selectable skins let you change the look of World Clock to match your Windows color scheme or theme.
World Clock can run in the system tray, or as a normal application. It runs on Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
