WorldClock 5.20 Build 5.2.0.5

WorldClock is an attractive and easy to use desktop time tool which includes timesync, timezone, calendar, alarm, wallpaper and weather features.

WorldClocks primary purpose is to get the current local time for any area of the world simply by clicking on a world map. It will automatically determine whether Daylight Savings Time is in effect for the selected area and adjusts the time accordingly.

WorldClock can easily synchronize your PCs clock with one of the many Atomic Clocks available on the Internet.

WorldClock also gives you the ability to fully customize the Windows taskbar clock display. In addition to displaying regular time and date information, it also allows you to display current local weather conditions.

WorldClock also comes with several Windows wallpaper features that present a wide variety of very useful information. These include: A high resolution day/night world map with the local times of up to 20 selectable cities; an analog clock display with user configurable update ferquency; a one to three month calendar; and the current weather conditions for any selected city.

You can also set up to eight alarms active for any pattern of selected days. Alarms can be configured to sound a user selectable wave file or run an application.
WorldClock also has a very nice calendar that allows you to set important reminders (with notification) and includes all Canadian and US holidays.

And finally, WorldClock can display a series of multiple clock windows that easily allows you to keep track of a large number of cities simultaneously.

Enhancements:

• The weather did not update properly if WorldClock was kept running during a date change. This release fixs this bug.
• There has also been a major change from version 5.10 in the way the program behaves on startup and the way the various minimize options are handled. This new version deals with this in a much more elegant (and hopefully more stable) manner.
• As usual, to get this update just download the same file (with the same password) as you did for the original version 5 download (wc5.zip) and then re-install.
• The screen saver update introduces better error checking on the place list in order to avoid "Index out of bounds" errors. Note that an unfortunate side effect of this change is that it will scramble your place selection list and you will have to re-select your places. This also applies to the main WorldClock program if you have selected the World Map wallpaper.

Requirements:

• A monitor resolution of at least 800x600 and 16-bit color.
• An Internet connection for the TimeSync and Weather features.
