Here is another program I'd like to share. It seems to be much more useful for Windows users comparing with the screen magnifier.As you can see on the screen shot it is the clock utility called Ranui Clock. Actually "ranui" means midday in Maori, but I would prefer to separate the word and use it as Ra Nui - The Big Sun, it has the same meaning in most Polynesian languages. Ranui is also the suburb where I am currently living.
Main Features:
- Ranui Clock displays time as an analogue clock with highly customizable appearance. You can select any picture (of the reasonable size) to be used as the clock scale.
- You can adjust almost every parameter of the image - see the options window screen shot.
- Precision - it synchronizes itself over the Internet using Time Servers and may also act as a time server for other computers in the same local network with no direct internet access.
- It can play sounds every second, every half an hour and every hour, as well as when its remainder is showing a message.
- It can work as the remainder or alarm clock. You can save as many as you wish single or regular events.
Ranui Clock comes with the set of scale images with predefined options for every image for your convenience. You can change any of these options and use any BMP or PNG (recommended) picture as a scale image. It saves your settings for every used image so you don't have to re-adjust them when calling the image back.
The program was tested with Windows 98 (limited visual features), 2000, XP, and pre-releases of Vista with and without Aero theme.
Ranui Clock is distributed as a self-installing executable file (about 1.5 MB).
