When a full-screen app hides the taskbar clock, a desktop clock can keep the time in view. DesktopDigitalClock displays the local time and date in a movable digital display, with options to change its appearance and placement.
Clock placement and visibility
Drag the clock to a position on the desktop, or set it to stay in a fixed screen position. Adjust its size to suit the available space, and use alpha transparency to let the desktop show through the clock. An optional seconds display adds a more precise time readout.
Themes and display settings
Choose among the included clock themes, then customize the display with a font and size that fit the desktop. The clock shows local time and date. Its settings are available from the program's tray icon, so appearance options can be changed after the clock is running.
- Select a theme and custom font
- Adjust clock size and transparency
- Show or hide seconds

First launch and portable use
The clock's options appear the first time the program starts, allowing a theme to be selected before arranging the display. DesktopDigitalClock can run without installation as a portable application; its multilingual interface includes an optional translation function.
