OS X floating clock? (Or anyone got a 10.4 system?)

Feek · 09-08-2008, 12:51

I'd like to add a desktop clock to OS X for the duration of the Olympics just so I can tell at a glance what the time is over there...

From what I can see, that was taken off from 10.5 so has anyone got a 10.4 system and can pull the file off as described here or does anyone have any suggestions for a half decent free desktop clock for OS X?

Dashboard?

No.
I don't want to have to F12, I want it on the desktop.

You could use Yahoo widgets, aka Konfabulator. Its what inspired Apple Dashboard but they can run on your desktop.

download the folder

I have no idea how to use that FTP space properly, so if anyone can give me a quick rundown sometime it'd be great lol.

Beat me to it (I actually had to turn the Mac Mini on to find the file.

)

I'm not sure I can get the whole directory structure easily because it's a .app so should be a single file, is there any way you can zip the .app file and put that up please?

Actually that's not correct. A .app is actually a directory not a file. If you right click on the app and choose 'show package contents' you'll see the directory structure underneath.
