Clocks
   THE CLOCK

There are two clock sizes available in THE TIME IS... VERSION 2.0.  A Large Clock and a Small Clock.

To move the clock window, place your mouse pointer over the clock and click and hold the right mouse button.  While holding the right mouse button down, drag the clock to its desired location and release the right mouse button.

To hear the current time and/or date, just click on the Say-It Button (the button with the picture of a mouth).  Please note, however, that the "talking clock" feature is not available in this evaluation version.

To minimize the program, single-click on the Power Button with your right mouse button.  To restore the clock window, double-click, on the program icon.

To end the program, single-click on the Power Button with your left mouse button


   PREFERENCES

You can invoke the main Preferences dialog at any time by double-clicking on the clock with your left mouse button.  Just some of the things you can do in Preferences is change the current time and date, set your alarms, modify when your chime sounds, customize the alarm and chime dialogs, change your clock size (large or small), and place the clock window always on top .  You may also customize your alarms and chimes with WaveAudio (*.WAV) Sound Files or PC Speaker (*.PCS) Sound Files.


You can have your chime sound on the quarter, half, or full hour.  The circles in the upper right hand corner of the main Preferences dialog determine how often the chime will go off.  The circle to the far left turns off the chime, while the one to the far right signals chimes on the full hour.


A Confirming Dialog requires you to click the dialog box before the Alarm or Chime dialog box diappears.  A Timed Dialog will wait up to 99 seconds and remove itself automatically.  If you don't want the dialog to appear at all, click the Timed Dialog option and enter 00 seconds.


This Preferences option displays a large clock with an area containing the current date.  This display mode works well with monitors running above standard VGA resolution (640x480).


This Preferences option displays a small clock which works well as a title bar clock.  Due to size limitations, the current date is not shown.  This display mode may not work well with monitors running above standard VGA resolution (640x480).


The top portion of a Windows program.  This bar, if present, usually specifies the program name and open file (if any).


Places the clock on top off all your running programs so it's never out of sight!


WaveAudio Sound Files
   WAVEAUDIO SOUND FILES (*.WAV FILES)

Although the "talking clock" feature is not supported in this evaluation version, any Windows compatible *.WAV file can be used with THE TIME IS... VERSION 2.0 alarm and chime functions.  You may set your sound files in one of the Preferences dialogs.


PC Speaker Sound Files
   PC SPEAKER SOUND FILES (*.PCS FILES)

THE TIME IS... VERSION 2.0 supports the use of the internal PC speaker.  If you don't have a sound card or compatible PC Speaker driver for playing *.WAV files, *.PCS sound files are available.  Select the "PC SPEAKER" sound option, and choose the *.PCS files of your choice in one of the Preferences dialogs.  You may also create custom *.PCS sound files.  Instructions are available to registered users.
