If you have been roaming around looking for wallpapers in digital artist Vlad Gerasimov’s website, you may notice that aside from the wonderful desktop wallpapers being offered for download (for free or through paid membership), there are wallpaper clock files as well.
These files are loaded on your computer through utilities that support .WCZ files. There is one available for Linux, Mac, and Windows.
How does this work? Every minute, the wallpaper is updated to show the current time. It’s something similar to a slide show, but the slide show happens on your desktop, and the only item that changes is the information about the current time.
To see how it looks, I have downloaded the Wallpaper Clock utility for Mac OS X and got two wallpaper clocks, and see how they look:
If you want to try the utility as well, here’s the direct link to the Wallpaper Clock page.
