Inspired by the upcoming version of the Windows operating system (It’s called the Windows 8, if you’re wondering), the author from The Windows Club, Lee Whittington has developed a screensaver, named the W8 Clock Logon Screensaver.
The W8 Clock Logon Screensaver is a freeware clock screensaver that displays the current time, date and day of the week in a tile (which should remind you of the Windows Phone 7 UI). When the screensaver is activated, a transparent layer will appear and the tile is at the bottom left of your screen.
Features of W8 Clock Logon Screensaver :
- Displays Time/Day and Date
- Use as Screensaver; has ability to apply to Logon Screen as Screensaver.
- Transparency is not supported for Screensavers on the Logon Screen so W8Clock will display as solid color on the Logon Screen but for general use you have the ability of applying Transparency.
- Added ability to use the Screensaver as an Alarm Clock. Use MP3, Wav, Midi and WMA audio files. Time will display as yellow when alarm goes off along with sounds playing.
- Option to display seconds on screen or hide.
- 12 Hour or 24 Hour format for time.
- Move Mouse or hit key on keyboard to shutdown application. The same applies for the Alarm Clock.
- Detects Windows 7 x86/x64, to install to correct path.
From the Settings window, you can choose colour theme for the screensaver, set to enable the screensaver on logon screen and also set up alarm from the screensaver.
This is how the screensaver looks in my desktop.
