This is a Yahoo widget for Mac/Windows that displays a continuous time update on your desktop. It is based upon Nixie tubes that were used as status indicators in the 1950/60/70s. The originals have a character of their own which this widget aims to replicate. This widget has the extra benefit that it is also a moveable bit of eye-candy. Latest changes include ability to turn off the sounds and enable the second indicating tubes. It also now resizes. It is beta - so please let me know if there are any bugs.
This widget requires Yahoo widgets to operate. Download yahoo widgets from here: http://desktopwidgets.zenfs.com/4.5.2x10a50/ywidgets_sdk_setup.exe
(This downloads the Konfabulator™ SDK and it has all you need to get started without all the other widgets that normally come wrapped up too).
