AutoIt Eye Clock

Small apps that enhance the otherwise formal Windows desktop have always been popular with users. They help liven up the visually austere OS environment and can even provide fun and entertainment during work breaks.

AutoIt Eye Clock, however, seeks to provide more than fleeting entertainment moments and displays a customized clock based on a pair of eyes. As such, there is a practical side to this program, in the sense that it does allow users to check the time.

The small program is highly unobtrusive and will run from the system tray area. If the pair of eyes is too obvious or interferes with current projects, users can always move it around and even add transparency effects. Also, one can add a custom background texture in common formats, such as BMPs and JPGs.

As mentioned, AutoIt Eye Clock displays a timer, with the following layout: the left eye represents hours, the right eye stands for minutes while seconds are displayed as the light in the pupils. This setup is highly intuitive and informative, but also entertaining and dynamic, as the revolving eyes can generate hilarious expressions.

The utility is highly customizable, allowing users to enable eyebrows, glasses, as well as a nose. When activated, this last item also has a practical aspect, as it tracks seconds. Several other functions can be adjusted by users, including the GUI scale factor, the style of the eyebrows and the clock update interval.

To sum up, AutoIt Eye Clock is a good tool for anyone who wants a desktop clock that is both entertaining and practical.
