What’s it about?
It’s an analog clock displaying the system-time. “So what?”, you might say, “There are about 1.023.493 of those already out there!”. Indeed there are and probably some more, but this one is a bit different. It leverages the new visual features offered by Xorg 7.0 in combination with a compositing-manager (e.g. compiz), gtk+ 2.10.x, cairo 1.2.0 and librsvg 2.14.0 to produce a time-display with pretty-pixels.
What does it currently look like?
Have a look at these screencasts of the current release. The left one shows new features and the right one goes through all themes coming with the 0.3.3 release…
