DESCRIPTION
Simple Floating Clock is exactly what the name implies. When Apple released Mac OS X 10.5, the removed the option to show the clock in a floating, translucent window on the desktop. Some people liked that view so I decided to give it back.

    GREGW  Right-click or control-click on the clock face. The context menu will let you adjust settings, create new clocks and quit.

    ANDYF  Wow! I love it!

    Until now I used Yahoo! Alive Clock widget, but not anymore. SFC is more customizable and has smaller footprint.

    The only problem I found it - after initial change of settings I can't launch settings anymore. Any hints?

    GREGW  No clue; my daughter changes the settings on her clocks almost daily. If you write to me directly we can try to figure out what's going wrong, though.

    PENNYHEAD1  Really nice and simple the way things should be! It would be nice to be able to make it about 20% smaller if possible. Thank you!

    GREGW  Apparently 7 people downloaded SFC 1.4.1 before I caught and fixed a tiny issue with desktop clocks on OS X 10.4. If you're seeing the Clocks on Desktop command dimmed, please re-download.

    JEANHANAMOTO  I like the floating clock but can't use it with the new Leopard OS. Too bad they dropped their own.

    GREGW  Considering that SFC was written and tested on Leopard, precisely because Apple had dropped the feature, I'm very curious to hear what it is that makes you are unable to use it.

    JEANHANAMOTO  Hi! The clock works fine for me. The only reason I wouldn't use it is I would like to have the clock/calender, and this is just a clock. I'm using the AquaClock by Brian R. Hill now, which is perfect for me.

    JEANHANAMOTO  P.S. I didn't mean to say it didn't work - that was a misstatement.
