    By default working hours are set from 9:00 to 17:00, but you can change them (for each clock) as you want.

    Working hours are represented by five basic colours:
    • Blue - working hours will start within one hour or earlier
    • Green - working hours
    • Orange - working hours wil end within one hour or earlier
    • Red - working hours ended before one hour or earlier
    • Grey - current time is outside of working hours

  • Global settings:

    Go to the "Global settings" tab and configure the options according to your preferences.
    Global settings will override the clock-specific settings. The correct approach is to firstly modify the "Global settings" and then adjust the clock-specific settings (in "Clock settings" tab) if needed.

    To adjust clock form positon and size use the buttons in the left-top and right-bottom corner of the application window. SAC - Simple Analog Clock - adjusting clock form possition
