Nixie Clock

For linux, irix, Windows/NT.

This simple little windows desktop clock displays the current time in 24 hour format using little icons of actual nixie tube digits. (For those of you into old 1960's vacuum tube display technology)

This started as just a fun little excercise doing stuff with flipping up little image icons, and decided it was an actual useful program.

You can download the pre-compiled Windows/NT executable, linux/intel executable, or an Irix 6.3 executable.

To move the clock, just click and drag it to where you want it. To kill it, click the clock (to select the window) and hit the ESC key.

if you want to diddle with the source, or compile it yourself, you can download the source code which can be extracted either with tar or Winzip. If you want to just look at the source code (it's small) see nixieclock.C. This clock uses the FLTK library available from www.fltk.org. See the README in the tar file for more info.
