Title: Clock Display
Post by: bustr on November 13, 2006, 12:25:41 PM: If possible, a digital clock display of your PC's time in the lower right hand corner during the game. This might help reduce some wife and girlfriend ACK because you played past some important time.

Make the clock display optional, the position moveable, and the font size/color customizable while you are at it please.

I have used this little application at work and it stays on top of pages and is movable with reminders etc.
Will it stay on top of AH? Dunno.
Check it out. You can time things, it tells time, counts down to a certain time...very flexible and free.

I believe they are/were set to HTC time for a while (back in the beginning days). However, that time is dedicated to arena-world time so that 12:00 is Noon......sun directly above. There is some bit of realism in that, don't you agree? ;)
