Find the current menu bar clock somewhat limiting? Wish you could see the date and the time without clicking? Need to know what time it is somewhere else in the world? Want an easy way to animate your desktop with the desktop screen savers hack? If you answer yes to any of these questions, you might want to try out iClock.

iClock replaces Apple's menu bar clock, and adds about 3,000 new features while doing so. You can choose the time/date format for the clock display, along with the font face, size, and color. You can view a list of various locations around the world, and add your own as necessary. You can start a timer to warn you when a certain amount of time has transpired. Open a calendar (whose display is fully customizable, of course) and have it launch iCal (or one of six other calendar apps) when you double-click a date. View running apps in iClock's menu. And much, much more ... in short, iClock will do just about anything you would want a menu bar clock replacement to do. And don't miss the version history neatly hiding in the graphical header of iClock's preferences panel!

iClock is a non-nagging $20 shareware package that's worth a look if you'd like more utility out of your menubar clock.
