Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This free program offers a few more extras than Windows built-in clock but also lacks some key features. DS Clock appears as a small green box in the upper right corner of your screen, displaying the time and the date. However, you can change the color of the background and digits, alter the transparency, and tweak the way the information appears. DS Clock's most useful feature seems to be its ability to automatically or manually sync your computer clock with a number of atomic servers. The stopwatch is a small plus, but we wish it could count down instead of just up. We really miss the ability to set alarms, and some skins would certainly help in the visual department. It won't hurt you to download this freeware, but if you look hard enough, you can find similar programs that are more robust.Publisher's description
From Duality Software :DS Clock is a digital desktop clock that displays variable date, time, and time zone information built from a format string. The program allows you to customize its look and feel, and can synchronize your computer's clock with Atomic Time Servers. You can select any combination of date, time, and time zone, pick custom colors and fonts, set custom sound to play at the top of the hour. Westminster chimes are available.
What's new in this version:
Version 2.4 adds Windows 7 support, lock right border, and large fonts.

Version: DS Clock 2.4
"Better than the Windows clock"
Pros: Simple and easily configurable. I like the seconds display, which lets me check the uncanny precision of my Casio digital watch. OCCASIONALLY I impress my friends with the Westiminster chimes.
Cons: None that I can think of.

Version: DS Clock 2.4
"easy adjustable personal clock with perfect time"
Pros: Easy to format font, colours and type of time digits. I have it always on top in an oblong on the top bar. This readily catches the eye. Synchronizing from a personal choice of many atomic sources also synchronizes the windows clock.
Cons: Am unable to find fault with this software
Summary: Excellent software and its free.
