and while you are writing code, can we get the bezels to rotate (perhaps to serve as alarms)?

How about Rally-Master Pair, with Master Time and Monte Carlo allowing for dual time zones? I would imagine that the Monte may take some work, to get the hours to display in the window!
: I recently ran across an ancient piece of
: shareware that puts a little clock on your
: Windows desktop. The program was (badly)
: written for Windows 95. It isn't very
: impressive - since Windows provides similar
: functionality - unless you're an OnTheDash
: aficionado and hack into the software to add
: your favorite chronographs...
: All the watches have working second, minute,
: and hour hands and are synchronized to the
: Windows clock. The attached photo is of the
: actual running watches on the desktop. I'm
: particularly proud of the Carrera Electric -
: with working analog and digital readout.
: They have transparent backgrounds and can be
: dragged/dropped anywhere on the desktop.
: There's even a rudimentary alarm feature.
: It's easy to switch from one
: "skin" to the next if you're not a
: big Super Autavia fan.....
: I contacted the author for a registered version
: of the program, and he told me it was long
: abandoned and that I can distribute it
: freely as long as I use my skins
: exclusively. So, assuming that I get
: approval from Jeff/Chuck for the OnTheDash
: digital harvesting I did for the photo's, I
: can make the program, skins, and
: registration key available to anyone that
: wants it. Any other "skin"
: suggestions?
: Jeff, Chuck?
: Regards,
: Lyle
