Glock, the screensaver
In the early days of desktop environments the life of almost every self-respecting computer programmer
reached a point where he had to write a screensaver to provide his fellow geeks with a direct example of
his mad hacking skills.

In more recent times, screensavers have been associated with websites ridled with spyware, virusses
and other malware. The amateur screensaver has become an endangered species, if not, extinct.
The corporate screensaver is on the rise, and we must act now if the amateur screensaver is to survive.

In this struggle for survival, I bring you: Glock, the clock screensaver for windows!
It's small, it's free, it has no options and it shows the current time!

P.S.
I refer to the self-respecting programmer as he because I have never met
a female self-respecting programmer who has written a screensaver.

I'm quite certain an amateur screensaver with a more female design could be a
huge improvement to the screensaver ecosytem.

Re: Glock, the screensaver
does it move around to actually "save" the screen, or does it burn the clock into my lcd?

It will burn the clock into your lcd, that's why it is an amateur screensaver.

except you can't burn a clock (or anything else for that matter) into an lcd.

Are you using a plasma screen lcd?  Roll Eyes

hmm mind explaining how the hell that would work since the plasma would bridge the anode and plate in the diode together like the mercury does in a thyratron?

You totally ripped that one off from a KDE screensaver called "Clock". ;-P (Or maybe they ripped yours off. Does yours come with adjustable colours?)

It's a total KDE clock ripoff. A few of my windows using friends were so jealous on my KDE screensaver that I decide to port it to windows. I did look at the original source code to make sure the size of the hands etc are exactly the same, but my windows version is a total rewrite.
Call it a translation from KDE/Qt to win32/OpenGL, if you want.

It would be nice to have a configuration dialog, but unfortunatly, it is not trivial
to write one in pure MFC. In theory I could remove the KDE-specific code
from kclock and compile it for qt on win32 but then It probably wouldn't be small any more.

In any case, don't take it too serious, I had a few hours of fun hacking it together  Grin

The title lead me to believe that the screensaver would be of this...
