Getting Started – Configuring the clock

When you first start the clock, it will open with a default position, default size, and default font. Extensive customization is relatively easy, however.

To move the clock to a different location:

Click and hold anywhere on the clock face and drag it to the desired location.

To change the width of the clock:

Right-click anywhere on the clock face, or click on the “Options” button. Next, select “Expand” or “Shrink” as appropriate.

To change the font, colors, or display parameters:

Either right-click on the clock face, or click on the “Options” button in the upper-left hand corner. Click “Display Settings”. You will be presented with the customization dialog box. Here, you can change multiple options:

-	Display day: When checked, the current day will be displayed on the clock face (e.g. “Monday”)

-	Display date: When checked, the current date will be displayed on the clock face.

-	Display time: When checked, the current time will be displayed on the clock face.

-	Count seconds: When “Display Time” is checked, this values controls whether the clock displays the time down to the exact second, rather than to the minute.

-	Always on top: When checked, the clock will always be on top of other active windows. For instance, if you working in the PENCILPad, the clock will be the topmost displayed object and will cover portions of the PENCILPad if the two windows intersect.

-	Font: To change the font, simply click in the “Font” region. A font selection window will open and you can specify the font.

-	Time format: When in “12-hour” mode, the time will be displayed followed by a trailing AM or PM. When in “24-hour” mode, the time will be displayed using hours 0-23.

-	Foreground color: To change the color in which the text is displayed, click here and choose a color.
