I'm running Mint 17.2 Xfce with Cairo Dock in lieu of the Xfce panel. I have Cairo Dock set to be hidden when it overlaps any window and since there's almost always a maximized window on my middle monitor, Cairo Dock is almost always hidden. I really like this setup a lot except for one thing - I need to be able to keep an eye on the clock.

For me, the best solution would be if every title bar had a clock in it. Bonus points if I could right-click that clock and quickly set an alarm or a countdown timer.

Does anyone know of something like this? Or some way I might be able to add it? AFAIK, Xfce doesn't have any kind of widgets. I'd consider using a different window manager (but not KDE). Worst case scenario, if I could have a minimal panel on my left or right (or even both - but not on my middle) screen, that would work - but is that possible?

I'd really appreciate some suggestions/instruction.

I haven't tested it.

Thank you, frankbell! I'll check it out.

I tested it. It works but watch out for the typos.

Countdown timer and the rest will have to be wrote by the OP.
