Edit a Clock

If you want to edit an existing clock, right-click on TimeLeft system tray icon and select in the pop-up menu My Clocks menu item to bring up the main TimeLeft window. In this window select a clock you want to customize and press Edit button at the bottom of the window.

This will bring up Clock Settings window.

Hint: there are two other ways to bring up Clock Settings window:

  1. Right-click on the floating window and select Edit Clock
  2. Or just double-click on a floating window.

If you want to enable the clock, mark Show Clock checkbox in the right-hand top corner of the window.

To change clock title, just type new text into the Title field. If you have several clocks it will be convenient to have an individual title for each of them (see Add a New Clock).

Time zone lets you choose a time zone you want to see on the clock.

In the Layout section you can customize clock layout. By default, layout is set to Predefined layout. If predefined layout is "hh:mm:ss", then clock will display hours, minutes, seconds and title (title is always displayed for Predefined layouts). If you want to hide (or show) clock title or clock captions (hour, min, sec etc.), unmark Show Title or Show Captions checkbox.
In the case, if you need to define layout that is not in the Predefined layout list, define Custom layout (see layout editor).

In the Format section you can choose between system, 12 or 24 (military) clock format and hide (or show) two digits of Years (06 or 2006).

To select countdown Skin or Font select Skin or Font radio buttons. Note: there is no such a setting as Font Size. Font Size is calculated automatically on clock panel resize.

Show border checkbox displays/hides floating window border.

Effect option lets you select the transition effect for figures in the floating clock window.
