ChromaCocoa 1.0 |
ChromaCocoa will show reading time on a clock can be fun and very pleasant at the same time. The concept was found by a Swiss designer (Tian Harlan) a few years ago, and he produced some wristwatches and wall watches with that concept. I can't do without it now, so I decided humbly to port this to Mac OS X. Enough words, here are a few screenshots:

Here is it! You may wonder how this "thing" can show time? Well, Take a look at the included read-me for more info, but to be short, the Chromachron is a disc split into 12 different colors (like 12 numbers on a normal clock) but instead of clock hands, you have a black with just a segment open which turns clockwise atop the color disc. For example here, you see you are between two colors, the 1h and 2h colors, so it is just... 1h30 (AM or PM) ! |

Here is it working in the Dock. |

You can set its size, transparency, window level... |
Feel free to try it, it's completely free. You may need some time to get used to it, but after some learning time, you'll read time faster in Chromachon than on any other clock, and you can reach a precision of approximatively 3 minutes (depends how big you set it, and how much you are trained). Written in Objective-C using Cocoa API's. Enjoy!
