Retro clock today plugin showing very nice analog clock in your today screen.
Main Features:
How To Install:
Download the CAB file, run it, and install into internal (main) memory.
Then go to /Settings/Today/Items to activate the retro clock plugin.
The CAB file already comes with 3 skins you may like or not. One of the skins is for VGA displays and looks really great !
Put additional clock files (skins) created by others into the install dir, then you can choose them in the plugin options.
Known bugs:
- does not work correctly with non-square clock sizes
- clock will not update while the screen is locked
Update 04-03-2008 v1.07.02:
- Added "Alarm hand" to Retro and REdit, that shows the hour position of one of the system alarms.
- Added 24-Hour hand.
- Added the capability to short-cut to the system Clock & Alarm properties.
- Added the capability to embed Author & Name info into the clocks.
- Fixed the bug that prevented Retro from animating properly while embedded in Wisbar Advance Desktop.
- 15-20% speed improvement.
(the new setting screen is shown in the second attachment)



the other today plugin on the screenshots is QuickLauncher

The VGA clock is beautiful, but on my Mogul is WAY to big. Is there some adjustment to be made? (Running with SPB Mobile Shell) Stephen

I was looking for an analog clock with a second hand for my Palm Treo Pro and this fills the bill, but I agree with others that I would like to resize the Austere VGA so that it's smaller. Also, I thought there was an alarm hand, but it doesn't show up on my clock even though I checked the box for it in the options section.
