TachClock

by Peter Govaars

I always wanted a modern interpretation of a pocket watch to match this digital age we live in. Since I had no way to build it in real life, I did the next best thing: I created a Konfabulator Widget instead.

This clock displays time using a 'digital tachometer' style display, where each lit indicator represents an elapsed hour, minute, or second. Simply read the number of indicators lit for the hours, minutes, and seconds to determine the time. Fortunately, this is easier than it might More

    This is great! I didn't think I needed a clock on my desktop, but after reading all the positive comments I couldn't help but install this one. Now I love it!

    One thing I would love to see is when it clears the seconds, minutes or hours, instead of just clearing, how about if it quickly cycles backwards? Just like a real tach would when changing gears. So the seconds would slowly tick up, up, up and then when it reaches 60, it quickly zips back, unlighting as it goes.

    Wow! This is so neat! It's the main reason I got Yahoo Widgets at all.
    Only one thing, I tried turning the hotkey off (since I use it in floating mode, it doesn't need to pop) but if you have "None" for the hotkey you can't change any of the other settings. It accepts the changes but doesn't update the clock with new colors or shading or whatever. If you add a hotkey again, it applies all the color changes.

    This is AMAZING. It looks so cool! Put me on the list for this in wristwatch format! Could you maybe add some different chimes? Other than that, it is awesome.Well done.

    Peter this is awesome (smart, sophisticated, and modern). I hope you patented this creation. I would buy this as a wristwatch. Thanks so much; this is one of the coolest things i've found online.
