DESCRIPTION
With the world becoming more connected, people everywhere are talking
to family, doing business, and creating friends internationally.
Horas helps you keep track of what time it is in other countries by
showing you clocks for multiple time zones. Since none of this would
make sense if your own clock isn't accurate, Horas can keep it on
time too!
Just select the locations you want to monitor and Horas does the rest!
The flexibility of Horas will please you -- there are many options
available such as analog and digital displays, seconds hand, 12/24
hour time format, custom colors, and even the day of the year. Plus,
Horas can automatically adjust your computer clock and keep track of
daylight savings time if you want it to. For those one-time needs,
Horas also has a handy time converter that gives you a quick look at
the time anywhere in the world.
IMPORTANT NOTE (for first time users)
This application anchors its icon near the clock in the system tray
which, by default, is located at the bottom right of your desktop.
You may invoke the application menu by right-clicking on the icon.
