Icon Clock
Version 5.0
Icon Clock is a digital alarm clock which is high on visibility, and low on
desktop space used. It's main window has three buttons. "Exit" exits the
clock, "Icon" reduces the clock to an icon, which still displays the time,
or presents a digital clock display in the system tray; "Settings" lets you
set all of Icon Clock's options. Either the full size clock or the icon
clock can be dragged anywhere on the screen, and will return to that spot
the next time it is run.
The shareware version of Icon Clock will only run 30 days. There are now
two options for registering Icon Clock. The Standard Registration costs
just $10.00. The Deluxe Registration is $20.00. The Standard
