Windows 8 Clock Screensaver - Feedback
Inspired in part by the (Leaked) images of the Windows 8 Logon Screen Clock with my own twist to it. Brought to you by The Windows Club.
•Easy Install/Uninstall with option to auto apply Screensaver and load settings.
•Themes for Background\Font Color\Time&Date Background.
•Transparency settings for normal use. Transparency not supported for screensavers on Logon Screen and non-transparency will be used.
•Displays Time\Date and Day of Week.
•Display Time 12 Hour or 24 Hour Format.
•Show\Hide Seconds.
•Alarm Clock: Lights up Time and plays Sound of your choice. Supported audio: MP3, Wav, WMA and Midi. Choose Day\Days to run.
•Move mouse or press key to unload the Screensaver and stop Alarm.
First attempt at a screensaver from the ground up so if anyone finds a problem be sure to let me know.

Worked flawlessly on my W7 HomePremium-bit.
I uninstalled it for one reason: As it only dims the desktop and the clock is bright, it doesn't prevent burn-in on the monitor screen.

True, however there should be a setting to completely blank the screen for privacy...show the clock only. Other than that, perfect.

That I wasn't aware of.Originally Posted by HappyAndyK
^ Burn-in's applied only to CRTs; not LCDs.
Would it be possible to have a round 3D-like clock?

Anand: I have actually been curious as to how users might react to the screensaver. What with all the Windows 8 fever LOL
y0himba: That was an idea I had tossed around and wound up removing as I wanted to keep the whole Transparent feel to it. I have ideas for a different version wheras this will be possible along with a ton more options.
japp: As far as Burn-Ins, same as above. I will be adding a feature for users who still use older monitors (I know plenty who still prefer them) and wish to save their screens. I'm not sure as to the 3D clock idea and in keeping with the idea of this clock. Pass me an example maybe? I'll give it a look and see what may be possible.
To everyone, I have a quick question: I tend to do Bing searches for my apps just to see how well people recieve them through the interwebs and I came across a YouTube video someone made of the Screensaver which I think was French maybe but not positive.
I tried to code the Time, Date & Day coding so that it would pickup all the different languages instead of just English. Has this worked for everyone or has anyone had any issues with it incorrectly displaying in your native language?

I'm using a LCD screen so I'm off the hook after you told me ot only concerns older monitors.
Since I'm using an English version of Windows and not my native language, I had no problems with the date and time.
I'll try to pass you an example of a 3D look.
