As an interesting aside, there is a simple way to make the clock, or any other widget, eg. Dictionary or Weather, which appear on Dashboard, show up on the Desktop.

This requires a terminal command:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES --alternative setting is NO
--followed by
killall Dock --to restart the Dock


Now you activate the Dock (F8 on my MacBook), select the widget you want and hold it with your mouse button down - (to make sure you have the widget, try moving it around), and press F12 to return to the Desktop.

The Clock Widget - or whichever widget you selected, should float through to your desktop.

Thank you.

If I remember well, the problem was not to get the time on the desktop but to have the date.

Having the time in the menu bar is simple and has no drawback.
The problem was that under 10.4 and 10.5, setting the preferences to display time & date in the menu bar has odd effects in some applications like Numbers.
This is why like others, I am in Search for a tool displaying the date without any kind of bells and whistle oon the desktop.


At this time, I use the clock which was embedded by mac Os 10.4 in the preference pane Date & Time.
It display mardi 20 juillet + hours & minutes.
The drawback is that it is too large for my own taste.


From my point of view, the clock widget is no more than an analog clock larger than the one which we may display in the menu bar.
