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. -Nat -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

If you can't find Eclipse or BlackWatch get back to me offline. BlackWatch needs a system-7-capable mac as the developer states which includes the Plus, but the capability to run under 6 is not specified. If the mac in question will have no other chores as to display the time, it will not matter if it runs 6 or some flavour of 7, anyway... Something that makes me wonder is your intention to put this MacWatch on the cross formed by four cubicle walls. Only the inhabitants of two cubicles will have a chance to read your watch as long as you don't put it on a motored rotating base. So what are your plans, precisely?

Re: Clock Program for the 9-inch Screen
There is a module on After Dark that has a floating clock. I believe you can make it a digital or analog, and yes, it does float around the screen.
