This is a program I wrote for fun because I was impressed with Michael Vogel's digital clock in the tricks 'n tips section. I find that we use it all the time for various things, kitchen timing, getting up from naps, etc. so I thought I'd share it. It has a loud (and large) ring, its most useful attribute imho. With your computer volume turned up you'll hear it for sure. Unfortunately the ring is 3.3mb and makes up most of the exe size. It's very simple to use, shouldn't need a help screen. Anyway here it is:

Nice one.

At first I went to answer the phone, then realized they don't sound like that anymore

Useful.

thanks netmaestro

Wow, very nice work.

That's really nice. Any chance you could make it save the alarm time so you don't have to set it each time you run it?

Beautiful and clean netmaestro (or maybe neat-maestro!)

Sorry but I have to ask you if you can share in the tricks and tips section a snippet of code to demonstrate how you obtained the glass look for the alarm setting digits ? No problem if you decide to not do it but I had to ask!

I noticed the numbers too change their color when scrolling towards the top of the glassy section.

Really well done.

Would be also fine for me to see this (secret) part of the code

The source code for a simple version of a glass effect could be found in this thread and here is a screen saver to demonstrate the effect (change the slider "Glaseffekt" in the config dialog)...

Michael

very nice.

looks great and I like the analog switches.
Maybe you could let people choose the ring on the windows versions.

Hello, who is it? Hello...? Are you there...?

LOL, JK!

Nice work netmaestro!

That's bad as$. Nice graphics.

@netmaestro: Holy crap! I didn't download this when you announced it as
I assumed it'd just be another little glass analog clock. So I finally took a
look now due to all the comments, and... holy crap! Very well done!

I did the exact same!

What no snooze function? What bloody use is this?

The glass effects with the digits is indeed awesome; great attention to detail!

One very very minor problem - which is perhaps a matter of personal opinion really? Cursor over the main clock area so that the cursor changes to the sizing/moving cursor and double-click. You can then return the cursor to the standard one if you right-click or move the cursor very very slightly!

Right, time to set this alarm to notify me of the next coffee break...... can you get it to ring every ten minutes?

Great work netty.

features:

- minimize to tray
- option for not "Always On Top" ..
