Cairo-Clock by MacSlow is an analog-clock software built on gtk+ and cairo that requires the X11 Composite-extension and a compositing-manager for its functioning.
The software has specific requirements to run seamlessly on a system, including a sane build-system and gcc, gtk+ 2.8.x, cairo 1.0.2, librsvg 2.13.5, libglade 2.5.1, Xorg 6.9/7.0 (with Composite-extension enabled), and a compositing-manager such as xcompmgr.
The latest version of Cairo-Clock comes with several features, including using gettext for localization, which supports languages such as da, de, en_GB, es, fi, fr, it, nl, pl, pt_PT, ru, sl, sv, tr, zh_CN, zh_TW. It also uses GOption, GList, and GString for theme-list handling, checks for composited desktop-environment, requires gtk+ >= 2.10.0, includes a new theme (gremlin/gremlin-24), has smooth hand animations, no flashing of background clear-color on startup, fixed close-button in about-dialog, and added a workaround for the "white rectangle"-bug in xserver, see freedesktop bugzilla-entry #11109 ().
In conclusion, Cairo-Clock is an excellent software application for users seeking an analog clock with advanced visual features. Its unique combination of technologies, along with its features, make it a worthwhile addition to the software library of any user who seeks visual appeal from their apps.
