Analog DIN Clock Screensaver
This screensaver shows an analog clock designed according to DIN standard 41090, as it can be seen quite often throughout Germany.
Features:
The installation size of this screensaver is small - only 300 KB are required for the single (!) SCR file
plus additional 150 KB for the uninstaller. (The screensaver can be uninstalled just like most other Windows applications using the installed programs list
of Windows.)
- Four selectable clock faces designed according to DIN standard 41090/41091:
- minute marks (large and small variant),
- hour marks and
- numeric dial (with selectable font).
- Adjustable size and movement speed
- Multi-monitor support
- Second hand with or without ring (or completely switched off)
- Adjustable colors
- Configurable clockwork (Hands sweeping continously, stepping, bouncing...)
It is even possible to simulate a second hand driven by a synchron motor to simulate a classic German train station clock with its swinging second hand. - Language of the settings menu: English and German
The CPU load is low - even on older systems it will stay below 10%.
Prerequisites: .NET Version 4.0 (already pre-installed on recent Windows versions.)
The screensaver has been successfully tested on Windows XP, Windows 7 (64-bit), Windows 8.1 (64-bit) and Windows 10 (64-bit).
