El Que No Volen Veure - » Estalvis de pantallaPlease make a Windows version! Can’t you just use the “Try” button on the ScreenTime page and make it, and then just uninstall the screensaver? You Mac people need to not be evil and let Windows people use your awesome screensavers!
New version is in progress. This will combine the two clocks into one and is written in Flash so it’s cross-platform. Still looking for someone to generate the Windows screensaver with ScreenTime…
Really cool screen saver..I stumbled across your site and DL’d the original…I just ran an update and found the Rotary…I love it…I have never been as excited to come across a sleeping computer as I am now. I could watch it for hours! Great idea! Keep up the good work!
amazing clock!! however, i would really like to see a windows version!! :)
i haven’t learned anything about Flash or making screensavers yet (maybe later ^^ ), so i’m afraid i can’t help you. but i wish you good luck and hopefully that will result in a windows version soon. ;)
Super smooth, as is the original version. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
I blacked out the foreground text ring so that just the highlighted time is displayed. It’s super crisp and minimal.
do you really need ScreenTime to generate the windows build? Couldn’t you use one of the open tools around like InstantStorm?
keep up the great work anyways ;-)
This looks so awesome is there an windows version already or how do i convert it?
Wowowoowowowowow…. Thanks

That’s brilliant
Thank you.
hi,
im using a pc and trying to figure out how to change from rotary to linear. i dont see any instructions on how to change it, unless being able to change it is only possible on a mac?
looks great nonetheless,
thanks
amazing flash clock work, it is really a flash application with a brilliant actionscript code.
I wish i could use this, but Snow Leopard doesn’t seem to support it yet. :(
Please update this for snow leopard!
Will – there is an alpha release for Snow Leopard on the main WordClock page. It’s in the list at the top of the page.
This is one seriously awesome concept. As you mentioned earlier, it’s a bit sluggish, but once that little issue is fixed, I think this has some serious potential. Can’t wait for the next version!
