a good analog clock

23meg

this is what i need

. can you recommend a lightweight, good looking, non-gdesklets analog clock? i was unimpressed by those on gnomefiles and gnome-apps.

xclock will get window decorations, and though useful, isn't too pretty. I use gdeskcal, which is a pretty calendar that sits on my desktop without gdesklets, I'm searching for something similar for time too.

Gkrellm has an analog clock plugin .. if you use that to monitor resources you can try out the plugin.

i've resorted to the gdesklets analog clock again.. i'm running gdesklets just for this thing.

i came across this thread and felt like bumping it months later; maybe something has come up in the meantime? come on, it's just a simple clock!

Try oclock: very clean, simple and has some easy command line options for changing its look.

I searched for a good desktop calendar but never found one... till now! it's perfect thanks tread. (i'm not crazy about gdesklets)... would love a simple analog clock that looked half as decent.
