Apple Clock Screensaver

  1. Global Nav Open Menu Global Nav Close Menu; Apple; Shopping Bag +.
  2. Minimal screensaver for Mac The Padbury Clock Screensaver is a minimalist’s dream – and should be the default on every computer. You can choose between 12 hour and 24 hour format in an elegant and legible font, and nothing more.

This digital clock screensaver translates the current time into a hexadecimal color code. Hours are mapped to red, minutes to green and seconds to blue channels, so a new color code is generated every second. The background color is continually adjusted to the calculated color, and the hexadecimal code is shown just below the time, both displayed in a bold, white font. You can, however, opt to show only the time or only the color.

This screensaver requires the Adobe Flash Player that is no longer supported by Windows. It probably won't work.

Analog DIN Clock. An analog clock screensaver that is almost completely customizable to your preferences. The default is an old-fashioned white station-clock, shown against a black background, with black hands for the hours and minutes and a red hand for seconds. However, you can optionally select an office clock or an inverted clock instead.

Like said in other comments, it stopped working after Flash was no longer a thing. RIP my favorite screensaver

So sad to lose this to the Great Flash Apocalypse. :(

by WorkSnakes on January 14, 2021

Stopped working since it was flash based, will probably never see an update.

I can't seem to find the ActiveX component required to use this screensaver, but it looks very promising!

Using Windows 10, I don't know how to get it to run, sadly! I love the color clock in the browser, but my screen just won't save :(

Very cool and lots of customisation to make it exactly what you want.
