The Giant Flip Clock Desktop

Reader projectvirus creates a smart, dynamic desktop HUD that prominently displays a desktop-sized flip clock. That big old clock is pretty cool by itself, but projectvirus went one step further by embedding small pieces of information along the edges of the clock, including the date, weather conditions, system monitor, and music playback info. To top it off, the whole setup is accomplished using the following free, popular desktop customisation tools:


Snackr:
– Scrolling Rss Feed

Rainmeter:
– Personal port of Fliqlo screensaver as first seen by Skarhead187
– Moxaweather
– HUD Vision horizonal calendar
Enigma system stats

CD Art Display:
– Displays music information from iTunes

ObjectDock:
– Open/running windows dock
