Although the time display in the system tray is essentially on the desktop, its dimension is too small and cannot achieve the effects provided by many 3rd-party desktop clocks - letting you notice the presence and elapse of time in every moment of the day.

Friendly Clock (AKA: FClock) is a tiny and minimalist free clock and alarm application that displays the current time of your Windows on the desktop with an adjustable half-transparency effect, allowing mouse to click through. That's to say, this program will never affect your normal work on the desktop.

You can move Friendly Clock's position by direct dragging & dropping. Right click on it to call the options out, where you can change color or font of clock; modify the transparent value of clock; let FClock disappear (becomes completely transparent status) when you hover the mouse over it; set an alarm.
