   about the project
Fuzzy Clock
FuzzyClock
Often you don't need the exact time in hours, minutes and seconds. A more human readable style like "five past ten" makes more sense. For that, you can now use FuzzyClock. FuzzyClock is a menubar clock which displays the current time in a "fuzzy" style.

  • April 10th, 2003: (v.1.2b) Public release to present all the new languages I have included in the last months.

    Currently there are so many languages included that I can't list them all here. FuzzyClock comes at the moment with about 70 languages and idioms. Try them out, and send me more ...

    If you miss changes you have send in the last weeks - be patient, they will show up in the next release. Other changes since 1.0.4b are:

    • you can now set font and color for the menu bar text
    • you can remove the shadow from the menu bar text
    • there are now menu entries for current date and time
    • the Preferences window is now resizable
    • the special times entries are now sorted by starting time
    • FuzzyClock can now include the weekday in the menu bar text

    Planned features for the next releases are:

    • Including ALL changes I received in the last weeks
    • Chimes for full, half and quarter hours
    • A countdown function to a given time
    • Display of the complete date in the menu bar text

  • Nov 21st 2002: (v.1.0.4b) Test version for the new languages and the new features. This version is stable but not fully localized to all supported languages. Please report localization errors and missing localizations (We can't translate everything to every language, so we need your help.) to Guido.

    With this version you can define your very own phrases for certain times, e.g. define the time from 9:00 am to 12:00 am as "morning" and so on. Have fun with this cool feature.
