Hello:
I'm looking for a large clock program that will fill the compact mac
screen. This should run under System 6, and ideally will have clock
digits about 2 inches high. It would also be nice to have the display
float around a bit to prevent burn-in.
This is going to be used on a compact mac that will be sitting on top
of the cross formed by the intersection of four cubicle walls. It
Options that haven't been mentioned yet are Eclipse and BlackWatch.
Eclipse is my personal favourite for sentimental reasons and does a
very decent job, but I can't remember from the top of my head how well
you can customize it - so far for your 2 inch digits. BlackWatch
(last version I know of is 1.5.5) adds password protection to the
moving clock, no protection against a restart from floppy of course,
but sufficient enough to deter the occasional snooper or prankster.
The After Dark module mentioned by another poster is pretty
customizable but the underlying engine is somewhat picky about system
versions IIRC.
To clarify, the After Dark clock module WILL work just great under
System 6.x as long as you get a copy of After Dark 2.0. Any later
versions require System 7 or higher, I'm afraid. I have After Dark
running on my Macintosh Plus with System 6.0.8.
