The Clock widget is a simple technical gadget for the Windows operating system that allows you to monitor your local time. However, ordinary users do not always have a clear opinion about such tools. For some, this is a necessary addition to the desktop, for others it is a useless trinket that takes up free space. This article is dedicated to those who are used to always keeping track of time.
Desktop Clock widget for Windows 10
One of the popular functional Windows features 7 was the presence of desktop gadgets (or widgets). In addition to several already built-in extensions, the system supported the installation of additional widgets from the Internet, which made it possible to rationally configure the workspace.
Windows 10 from Microsoft is the same as previous Windows 8, again upset users with the lack of such a widget panel.
- According to the OS developers themselves, the decision to completely abandon the usual system of gadgets was influenced by several global reasons, namely:
- uselessness of the function. One of the main ways to develop the new OS was the rebranding of the design, where this kind of extension was simply not included conceptually;
security of users' personal data. However, this point is controversial. It is difficult to even imagine that such an insignificant extension of the operating system as a widget can harm the user's security.
In the new Windows OS (version 8/10), desktop widgets were replaced by dynamic tiles, which to some extent were supposed to replace them. For example, the “Alarms and Clocks” application tile has even more functionality than the “Clock” gadget in Windows 7. The situation is similar with other dynamic tiles. However, the problem with all the available tiles is that none of them can be placed on the desktop, unlike the same widgets. To find out the necessary information, you constantly need to go to the Start menu.
Not all users are happy with this situation. For their sake, third-party software developers tried to return the function of desktop widgets to modern operating systems. Let's look at the most popular programs that can complement Windows 10 with the necessary Clock widget.
Popular Clock widget programs for Windows 10
There are a sufficient number of programs on the Internet for installing Clock widgets for the Windows 10 operating system. The most popular of them are the following three.
Gadgets Revived
Second title Windows programs Desktop Gadgets. Its main task is to return popular widgets to new system from Microsoft. The only minor difference will be a slightly modified tool interface (to match the Windows 10 style). The program installation algorithm is as follows:

Gadgets Revived will not only add a “Gadgets” menu, but also place widget management access in “Personalization” (right mouse button on the desktop), and also add a corresponding sub-item to the “View” menu.

MFI10 is the image ISO disk(to open it you will need a CD/DVD drive emulator program, for example, Daemon Tools), about one and a half gigabytes in size. Since the program cannot currently be downloaded from the developer’s official website, you will have to use any available search engine.
After downloading the ISO image, you need to open it and mount it on your computer. To do this, you will need a CD/DVD drive emulator program, for example, Daemon Tools.
The window that opens will display a list of all files on the virtual disk:

Open full list widgets can also be used using the context menu by clicking right click
mouse on the desktop and selecting “Gadgets”.
A distinctive feature of the program is the variety of widgets
Another distinctive feature of the program is the significant variety of possible settings for widgets. A special panel opens either through the interface of the application itself or through the Start menu.
The menu is entirely in English, which can be a little difficult to use
- Since the configuration menu does not support the Russian language, let’s briefly look at its items:
- Add gadget - installing new widgets on the desktop and deleting them;
- Disable Autorun - disable autorun of widgets when Windows boots;
- Make gadgets larger - scaling desktop widgets. This is most relevant for monitors with high screen resolutions;
- Disable Win+G for gadgets - deactivates the widget panel call by pressing the Win + G key combination. Sometimes this combination is simultaneously responsible for the process of recording video from the monitor screen;

Nowadays, many different watch models have been created. Perhaps some people are so frightened by how certain mechanisms work that even they are a problem. But all clocks now work on approximately the same principle. So far they are classified mainly into two types - mechanical and electronic. Let's remember how to set the time on such a watch.
Instructions
Mechanical:
On mechanical watches there is always a special “wheel” with which it is installed. If this is a manual mechanical watch, then pull it out a little and turn the hands clockwise to the numbers you need. If the clock shows seconds, then you can set the time more accurately using either a TV, that is, synchronize your clock with the clock of the radio station, for this you need to wait for the announcement. After the desired time has been selected, the “wheel” must be inserted back exactly at the moment the time signal is transmitted.
Electronic:
Many people think that setting the time on an electronic watch is like figuring out a computer. In fact, such devices have a special menu and you can set the time in it. You just need a button that is responsible for the time, and press it, following the instructions from. Usually, when you press a button that is responsible for the time, the numbers start flashing, then it’s time to start. You need to press a button, and the numbers will sequentially replace each other, set the time and press the special button again (see the instructions), fix it.
Instructions
Pull the wheel towards you until you hear a slight click. Don't force yourself, do everything carefully.
Rotate the wheel to set the exact time.
Push the wheel back into the groove by lightly pressing it. Do not move the arrows.
If necessary, wind the clock mechanism. To do this, quickly and carefully rotate the same wheel to the side, without needing to remove it from the groove. Please note that you do not need to start it until the spring is fully stretched; 6–8 partial turns are enough.
Conventional electronic watches have two standard buttons: a menu button and a status change button. Press one button - the number expressing the hour begins to blink. Use the second button to increase/decrease this value.
If your watch has more buttons, use the instructions. But most likely, two of them will be for calling the menu and changing the value, and the rest, for example, for calling , month and year (which can also be changed), for starting the stopwatch, and so on.
Again, if there are instructions, you will be able to configure all available options.
note
Mode - switches to a stopwatch - then to an alarm clock... ... in alarm mode Start - adds one to the counter, Reset - switches the counters between hours - minutes... Mode - returns to clock mode again...
Helpful advice
The date is set in the same way as the time, and the stopwatch most often does not need settings. There are electronic watches that have a range of additional functions. In order to decide on them, you must first figure out how to set the date and time on the watch and then deal with the other functions.

Many personal computer users are thinking about displaying a clock on the desktop, because... Looking at the time on a small clock that is located in the system tray is at least inconvenient. In addition, by walking past the computer and looking at the monitor, you can find out what time it is.

- Software"Desk chronometer".
Instructions

Change the watch face display settings to suit your needs. You can place several clocks on your desktop and give them different names, such as “London”, “Paris” and “New York”. You can remove the clock image from your desktop in the same way: open the gadget library and transfer it back.
If you're using Windows XP or other operating systems that predate Windows XP, try creating a creative clock using the Desktop Clock program. This utility has the following operating principle: instead of the usual clock, you get a non-standard display of an analog clock on the desktop (desktop shortcuts are grouped into arrows). So you end up with a watch made up of shortcuts.
After starting the program, the main window will open, go to the “Chronometer” tab and click the “Enable” button. A clock will work on the desktop, which will be accompanied by walkers. Of course, the usual arrangement of shortcuts will be confused, but this is where the creativity of this program lies.
In the program settings you can set your own values, because... one user will have fewer shortcuts, while another user may have twice as many.

Just ignore him.
Let's set up our new digital clock on the computer desktop - right-click on the tray icon and in the appeared context menu go to “Settings”...
You can use the sliders here set opacity watches and their size. Use the checkboxes to enable transparency for the mouse, blinking of the separator and secure them always in the foreground.
You can use the watch style from the built-in collection...
...or by choosing beautiful font, play with size and color...
By the way, in addition to a bunch of styles, the program has an incredible number of ready-made textures...
They “live” under the button with three dots, which is opposite “image” in “texture type”.
Remember, I described to you the screensaver “Clock Made of Grass” - here’s an almost identical clock for your desktop...
In the second section of the clock settings you can set them to system startup, select the time format, change the distance between numbers and enable auto-update of the program.
The third section is “tasty” plugins (add-ons) for our clock on the computer desktop...
There is an alarm clock with a reminder...
Tried to point out playlist address for online radio in the line “flow”, but “didn’t take off” for some reason 🙁 ...
Signal from local file worked wonderfully...
If you notice, when the alarm clock is turned on, the appearance of the tray icon changes.
The plugin can enable date display...
...activate the computer shutdown timer...
...pin a note to your desktop...
For those who miss their old grandmother’s clock with hourly chimes throughout the entire apartment, there is the “Signal every hour” plugin. The floating mode of the clock with the scheduler is immediately activated, the color of the tray icon changes, and variable transparency is activated.
Personally, I found a use for these watches - instead of unnecessary gluttonous browser add-on, just adjusted the size and position on the monitor screen...
