Clock with huge figures


Dear all,

is there any "CLOCK" screensaver or something similiar to display date and
time in digital mode?

The problem with xclock is that the figures are to small i.e. we need huge
numbers which cover nearly the whole 19" screen.

THX,
RainerB

xdahliclock has a range of sizes, can be displayed on the root window in full-screen mode, and can use any x-font.

I thought one of the x or g screensavers had bouncing 3D letters which could be set to display the date and time?

@Simon:

Very good tool but do you have an idea how to include the timezone,
i.e. UTC or GMT?

You mean like add characters to the end so as to display "gmt" or "utc" or whatever... I pretty sure sure you cannot do this in xdaliclock. In fact, if you leave out the seconds display, you cannot get a full date display either.
