Hm, it’s wriiten that i can’t use the screensaver on this computer and that i should contact developer of this software for a newer version )
9
When the hour “one” is highlighted, it grabs the comma after December, Highlighting “, one”
…or is that comma always highlighted, separating the month form the hour?
Anyway, fantastic job. I’m using this screensaver as my new desktop.
22 April 2008

Oh, and is there any way you could add a gradient background (to make it look more like the photo above)?
Also, the ability to set transparency on the colors would be helpful. I know opacity control shows up in OS X’s color picker, but only for certain applications…
22 April 2008

Love it!
22 April 2008
15
2 q’s… can you make it for a pc, and can you make a version for a wall? i would buy it =)
22 April 2008
16
I do love it … I wish you had a version for a PC (I know, horrible, but what can you do when that’s what work gives you.)
I, like Michelle, would buy a version for a wall too. That would be very cool.
23 April 2008

Big thanks to everyone that’s emailed with offers of help for translation. I’m out of the country for a few days on a shoot so will get back to everyone next week. But keep them coming in the mean time…
21
Wonderful. I love the customizability. Cheers!
26 April 2008
22
Now I have to use a screensaver! (Now for the PC version so I can use it at work…ick. I may be talking them into a mac, but until then!!)
27 April 2008
23
Your word clock has created a shadow effect of the word clock on the desktop when the screensaver is not active.
27 April 2008
24
So cool! Thanks for sharing it, I’ve already gotten a few compliments!
30 April 2008
26
Thanks all for translation help – I’ll hopefully get round to incorporating them all this coming weekend. I think the idea of having opacity on the text and allowing for a background image is great so will try to add that feature too.
28
awesome idea, but i have to ask.. dont you think this will burn the screen?
1 May 2008
32
donal – it doesn’t help save your screen. tom – screen burn was only an issue years ago when we all had CRT screens. Screensavers are just a vanity thing now and in general don’t perform any useful function.
33
or if your running a plasma like i am…
1 May 2008
34
If you’re worried about burn-in, please don’t use it. I’ve added a burn-in section to the page as I think it’s a fair comment!
35
pc version? pretty please?
1 May 2008
36
Yeah – what Alon said!
Is there a PC version in the pipeline??
Pretty pretty please?
37
Mmm no PC version in the pipeline at the mo. I have a Flash version of the clock that could be converted to a ScreenSaver if anyone wants to volunteer to convert it with something like ScreenTime? Doesn’t handle multiple languages though…
38
Bo – thanks for the offer of help. I’m going to work on the Flash one a little more so it can read all the translated xml files I have. Will be in touch when it’s done (few weeks probably!). Would like to release something good.
41
@ Bo. Woo hoo!
Sorry I couldn’t help Simon .. I’m one of those damn end users only!! ;p
43
Superb! A wonderful idea for us type-heads. Surely this is the only screensaver in the world that has adjustable typography controls?! This is gracing my desktop just as surely as my “your type makes me sick” (collapse-design) t-shirt adorns my bod.
:D
8 May 2008
44
I would appreciate any form of this for Windows. I generally don’t use screensavers, but this is too good to pass up.
14 May 2008
47
Thank you.
16 May 2008
48
Definitely a really nice screensaver! I spotted a little bug in the french translation though : the word “dimanche” (sunday) is doubled…
20 May 2008
49
it’s really tuff to wait for the Windows version!!!
22 May 2008
50
wow, this is great! awesome idea! thanks for turkish version.
23 May 2008
51
Love, love, love it! :)
24 May 2008
52
Excellent! One of the finest screen savers ever. Maybe it’s my love of typography – anyway, I tumblelogged it…
53
I want this for Windows too!
25 May 2008
54
sweet, thanks from germany!
25 May 2008
55
Windows version would be very much appreciated!
props for the great idea!
25 May 2008

26 May 2008

Great screensaver, I wonder if you have plan to put Indonesian language…
26 May 2008
59
The best ‘minimalistic’ screensaver I’ve ever had.
Conjures a smile on my face. :-)
Big THANKS!
Yz
60
Cool clock.
Couple of minor niggles, the ‘,’ after the months is highlighted and this just looks wrong to me.
When doing right justified text the previous line jumps about when the highlighting switches from the first term to the second term
26 May 2008
61
Great idea. I really love it – especially the customizable typesetting and colors. Good work.
63
very, very cool and elegant!
26 May 2008
64
Beautiful screensaver!
One problem…it’s 1 hour in advance, even if my system clock is ok…
66
Best screensaver yet. would be a good idea if we could customise it so that we can only display the date e.g. and remove the time.
27 May 2008
67
well done!
27 May 2008
68
Brilliant, stylish and very original idea! The 18 languages means I can have it in French which is great. But (yeah I know: nitpicking and all that), could you add an option for a 24 hours format, or even better, guess it from the system’s locale like you guess the language. Sorry if it’s already been asked for but I didn’t see any mention for it in the previous comments…
27 May 2008
69
Excellent all around.
How about an option in Languages for a randomly-chosen language each time it starts?
27 May 2008
70
Sorry, it’s me again. I just noticed that there’s a small problem with the French version. You use the plural of the unit for the zero quantity like in English, while in French 0 and 1 are not using plural form. BTW this is even worse for (at least) Russian and Polish AFAIK. Check gettext doc, that’s where I learned about this. http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Plural-forms.html
27 May 2008
71
Please, pour Windows, por favor, s’il vous plait, bévakasha,
27 May 2008
73
Thanks to everyone for the kind comments and who has noticed all the errors in translation and the +1 hour bugs… I am slowly working on a number of new translations and should be able to post a corrected version over the weekend. This version also has a random option and you can also set a background image if you want (for gradients or whatever you like).
74
Very nice! A beautiful screensaver. One thing about the Swedish translation: the names of the months are not spelled with a versal in the beginning, i.e. “maj” not “Maj”. Otherwise, it’s perfect!
27 May 2008
75
this is great. hebrew would be awesome!
28 May 2008
76
cool ss, how about making it compatible with real computers?
28 May 2008
77
Apologies if its been mentioned, I wondered about possibly avoiding the screen burn issue by occasionally shifting the clock by a pixel or two every so many seconds.
My plasma does this for TV, shifts by one pixel every 30 seconds I think it is – you don’t notice it unless you’re paying very close attention :)
Excellent screensaver, enjoying it!
Cheers
Richard
28 May 2008
78
I’ll second the last comment. You could have it (slowly, or not so slowly) sliding all over the screen, given that the space it occupies is smaller than the real estate. Anyway thank you for this great idea!
28 May 2008
79
COOL !!
coold idea with professional implementation
28 May 2008
80
Just wondering, does anybody know what software was used to create this? quartz composer? or something that uses flash?
thanks
28 May 2008
82
Awesome screen saver! makes me want to not let my computer sleep just so i can see it!
Anyways, I have a request that’s a little different.
Is there any way other statistics could be integrated into the free space on the screensaver? Such as a stock ticker, netwrok usage, new mail, something along those lines? I know its different, and I know nothing about coding, but it would be very very cool. Either way, this is my new screensaver.
28 May 2008
83
Thanks a lot.
28 May 2008
84
I can’t seem to be able to change the typography from the default Helveltica Bold. Please help.
29 May 2008
85
Beautifully done. Especially appealing to us typography folks. One corrections: your “kerning” slider is actually better stated as “tracking” or “letterspacing”. Kerning is the space between two specific pairs of letters, not the letterspacing as a whole.
86
Very nice! One suggestion, though I don’t know if it’s possible: could you include support for different configurations for Macs with multiple monitors? I.e. Different layout on each?
Thanks!!
87
great savr — thanks. Any chance of getting a 24-hr clock version? My system clock is set that way, so would love to see the savr show me: “twenty-two thirty-seven” instead of “ten thirty-seven pm” etc
~ Keith
88
love the screensaver.
one thing you should do though
in the layout field have it so you can add pics (from a folder or flicker) so you can have the tie on one side and a slide show on the other

2 June 2008
93
great work! though the swedish version seems to select the wrong day of the week..
94
Beta version posted at top of page. Fixes most of the bugs I know about, adds some more languages and features. It’s a work-in-progress so maybe contains some new bugs too…
95
i’d like the highlighted words to be aligned along a vertical center axis, and then the grayed out words to cycle word by word, line by line. i would like to make this in qc myself, but haven’t got the time. is this qc? could you provide us with the qtz?
2 June 2008

Beautiful idea, beautiful implementation, congratulations Simon.
But (there is a but?) – some feature suggestions:
* Add a possibility to save/load the settings – especially the sliders are a bit tricky, if you are not satisfied with your choices, then it’s hard to get back to the orginal settings. Plus it would be cool to get the settings of some cool flickr picture of wordclock
* A free-floating, resizable preview would be a great help for subtle typographical adjustments. The built-in preview is overlapped by the configuration dialog and it is too small, anyway.
* Maybe add a “donate” button to your site for people who would like to show their appreciation.

Kudos on the design!!!

13 August 2008
152
Hi Adrian – a version with digits instead of words is easily possible. However the whole point of the clock is to use words rather than digits, and I can’t bring myself to do it!

extremely well done screensaver! Love everything about it.
one thing that would be a nice addition i think would be a “”default” button for all the tabs. but im just nitpicking :)
btw, how did you get the background on the mac one to be a blue/black gradient?
14 August 2008
158
Simon,
OK then… how about an option on the linear text for Star Wars fans?
Text would fly into and fade away to the background as the intro of the movies.
You could make every “chapter” of the text space each other between every minute and you would have 60 lines of text per chapter… just a thought.
Still love the rotary on my screen…
Many Thanks!

Hi Simon,
Great work. Is it possible to get the old OS X only version? I believe that the Arabic display problem is related to flash – namely, that it doesn’t like to connect Arabic letters. My guess is that the old Cocoa version with the Arabic translation should work fine.

I love this screensaver, and have been using it for a while. A suggestion, though: it would be great to be able to have user set format for the date and time, rather than just the four or so options you have for each language. I’m not a coder so I have no idea whether that would be easy or not, but it would be great, since my ideal way of seeing the time is not quite the options that are available. That being said, Word Clock is great!!

Love your work. I run a dual screen setup at work (PC) and at home (Mac). It’d be great to have linear on one screen and rotary on the other. Not sure if this is an OS kind of restriction but it would be cool…
You could have a pulse between the two as the time updates…

I love it, Im using it with wallspace right now. but I do have an idea… I’d like to see a version that instead of having the individual “sections” on the rotary clock float, it would be a set space to be in. So instead of just sizing the wheel in layout, you could size each “section” Just my 2¢

i saw many flash clocks on the internet websites and blogs, plus i also created many cool flash clocks too, but i never saw such an idea in a flash clock or a real watch like your world flash clock.
Great work i admit, but i will try to do a flash clock like your word clock, i bet it is going to fill all my free time for sure.
Thanks for sharing, great work!

I’ve tried to install this on a new iMac with OSX 10.5.7 and it does not seem to recognise Wordclock when I try to select in desktop screensaver prefs. Is this correct, or am I doing something wrong? On OSX 10.4.11 it was fine and wonderful in English and Japanese!

I’m a PC user and I use Firefox. When I downloaded this screensaver I was told to update my flash. When I did so the screensaver didn’t work and I couldn’t pull up the settings for it. So, just to test, I downloaded the flash update for Internet Explorer and tadah! the screensaver and settings work. I’m not sure if this is an issue that anyone has notified you of yet, or if it is even anything you can or might want to fix. Just thought I’d let you know.
19 June 2009

Thanks all for letting me know that it doesn’t work with Snow Leopard. Unfortunately I don’t have Snow Leopard so I’m not in a position to fix it. Perhaps I’ll be able to fix it later in the year.

Most amazing screensaver ever created. I get positive comments on it every time it pops up! Kudos to you. You’re a genius.
I feel stupid for asking, but to my utter horror, when I was playing with the settings, I accidentally did something that made the rotary version not show up… I was playing with the dimensions and they just won’t come back no matter what I do.
How can I get this beautiful clock back? :-o

I have gone through many differnt screensaves but this is the one I have kept the longest. And I plan to keep it going.
But cool idea. Build in some sort of alarm function that you can set. The time that is set will show up on the clock in a different color so you can watch it get closer. Cool, no? I believe it would then be complete.

Snow Leopard: Due to slightly overwhelming demand I have made an alpha version. It seems to work except for the update function. The download link is at the top of the page. Please let me know how you get on…
The saver will remain Flash for the foreseeable future as it’s the only practical way I can maintain a Windows and Mac version.

After using the Word Clock back in 2007 I remembered while talking about word clocks in a pub this week-end… I wanted to show them and looked for it online. To my surprise I found out there was an iPhone version available so I could really show it off to them. Good times.
Now… coming back to my Mac at work and reinstalling it I see that it got turned into a Flash application, immediately apparant from the look of the GUI when opening the screensaver’s options. Rather disappointing. It would’ve been a nice to see it in action again.

I really wish this was a native mac app that works in Snow Leopard.
First of all, on high-res monitors the motion becomes less smooth, even with no other programs running.
Second, typography is only halfway there! For some reasons ligatures do not seem to occur automatically, resulting in some ugly words. Also, the convert to upper case option doesn’t do anything on my computer.
I realize you’re neither motivated nor obligated to redo this screen saver, but it’s just so close to perfection that it pains me to see it fall short.
In any case, great work, and great idea.

Hi Chris – unfortunately there is no way to run any App as wallpaper. Let’s hope Apple add this as a feature in a future version of iOS. Best, Simon
