Clocks tab

On the Clocks tab in the Options window you can change the behavior of desktop clocks.

Animate clock related windows when opening
This tick box determines whether a clock opens in an animated fashion to indicate the window’s relationship to its clock. This applies to Alarm windows and the Clock Settings window.

Clocks cannot be moved beyond edge of screen
Clocks can be moved beyond the screen’s edge if this box is not ticked. If the box is ticked, clocks will stop at the edge of the screen.

Clocks are always on top
You can also determine if the clocks should be on top of other windows.

Clocks auto-hide when docked to edge of screen
Determines if a clock will automatically hide when it touches the edge of the screen.

Do not hide clocks when Control Center is visible
The clocks will not hide when certain windows are open. For the Control Center this behavior can be overridden by removing the tick in this box.

Move clocks as cluster by default
When you move desktop clocks they normally move individually, and snap to each other to make alignment easier. However if you hold down the Shift key while you move one of the clocks, all other clocks that touch this clock will also move. This way you can easily move aligned clocks to a new location. If the default settings in Options is set to “Move clocks as cluster by default” you can move them individually by holding down the Ctrl key while moving a single clock. The Alt key disables both, cluster move and snap-on behavior.

Un-hide clock when mouse moves over notify icon
If you do not want the clocks to un-hide when the mouse moves over the notify icon, remove the tick in the appropriate tick box.

Clocks hide after
The “Clock hide and un-hide” box allows you to change the time a clocks stays visible before it hides again

Clocks Un-hide after
Determines the amount of time you need to hover your mouse pointer over any part of a clock before all clocks un-hide This is useful to avoid unnecessary un-hiding when you quickly pass over a clock with your mouse cursor.

Clocks stick out at the edge of screen by

The Minimizing Clocks box gives you control about the behavior of the clocks when minimized.

Minimize to Task Bar
When you minimize clocks (right click on a desktop clock), a task bar button will be visible.

Show clock times in Task Bar when minimized
You can enable or disable the clock times and locations being shown on the task bar button. If enabled, task bar button will consecutively show all desktop clock times and locations when the clocks are minimized.

Show time on minimized clocks always in 24 hour format
To save space on the task bar button, you can force the program to show the time on it always in 24 hour format regardless of your system preferences.

Minimize to Notify Icon
If you do not want the clocks to appear in the task bar you can also minimize them to the notify icon.

Return to previous state when program starts
Tick this box if you want the program to remember your settings and return to the state it was in when it was closed. If this box is not ticked the clocks will always be shown on the desktop when the program starts.

Clock Transparency
You can make the clock semi transparent by changing the opaque value in the Clock Transparency box.
