Re: floating onscreen clock

Hello.

This thread is old, but I dare say I have found the perfect onscreen floating clock.

The xlock which is shipped with the X11. app. I hide it when I have no use for it, and
activates it by control clicking the icon in the dock.

Well, I have upgraded the X11 app with quartz-wm, but I guess the functionality is the same.

it is just perfect for me when I want an on screen floating clock. I just type xlock in the terminal
to fire up X11 and show the clock. When I'm partially done, I just hide the clock, and when totally done with the clock then I shut down X11. I allways have a terminal window open anyway.
but it should be pretty easy to create a script or service which does the same.

Tommy
