Treat your eyes to a more visible clock
As the developer of Clock! rightly points out, the teeny-tiny clock that comes as standard in Windows is hard on the eyes. Give them a rest with a more visible timepiece. Clock! is a simple-looking clock application that hides plenty of extras - a variety of skins, a calendar, and alarm functions. The clock itself can be modified as you like - choose from 5 different sizes, drag-and-drop location, and a choice of over 40 styles. You can also upload and modify an image of your own, setting that as the background to your customizable clock.
You can access Clock!'s options by right-clicking either on the clock itself or on the icon in the taskbar. The two main features in the options menu are the alarm and calendar. The alarm function is very complete, allowing you to set as many alarms as you like using an alarm tone of your choosing. You can also set Clock!'s alarm to execute a program or repeat over a period of time, as well as adding notes so that you remember exactly why you set an alarm in the first place! The calendar function is basic and unfortunately does not allow you to add notes or customize the display.
Clock! is a functional, full-featured application that will brighten up any desktop.
