WorldClock: Description

WorldClock.Net Description

WorldClock.Net is a completely new implementation of WorldClock based on the .Net platform. Although similar in nature to the original WorldClock.Classic, it takes a very different user interface approach; instead of the orignal small map display as its main presentation, WorldClock.Net starts with a full-screen map of the world as you can see below:

WorldClock.Net has most of the functionality of the original WorldClock.Classic with the exception of the desktop wallpaper features. The following list summarizes the important differences between the two applications:

NEW/IMPROVED FEATURES:

WorldClock.Net presents a new user interface experience and runs on the .Net platform
New event/schedule/agenda panel tied to your Google or Office 365 calendar
Display extended forecast by double-clicking on the weather panel
Display detailed location information by double-clicking on location's panel
Location panel positions can be relocated with a simple mouse click-and-drag operation
Alarms are active and trigger even if WorldClock.Net is not running
Full screen display support (Ctrl-F to toggle)
Startup option: Start program in normal, maximized, or full-screen mode
Hovering mouse over holiday date in calendar panel will display holiday information

REMOVED FEATURES:

All wallpaper features
Four and six month calendar displays
Calendar View with marked days/reminders
Automatic TimeSync

NEW REQUIREMENTS:

Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, or 11.
Please note that WorldClock.Net is not compatible with Windows XP or earlier.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5. If you are running Windows 8 or higher you should already have this installed. But if you are running Windows 7 or earlier, the WorldClock installer will automatically download it from the Microsoft website and install it for you.

Note that WorldClock.Net is not intended as a replacement for WorldClock.Classic but as an alternative user interface variant for those who do not need the wallpaper functionality of the original.

WorldClock.Net Preferences

Like WorldClock.Classic before it, WorldClock.Net is highly customizable.

As you can see above, with the exception of the desktop wallpaper features, most of the preferences are the same as the original WorldClock.Classic Preferences. The only major difference is the addition of a new tab named Schedule.

On this tab you can configure a link between WorldClock.Net and your calendar. WorldClock.Net supports linking to either a Google calendar or an Office 365 calendar. Note that local Outlook calendars are not supported, only Office 365 cloud-based calendars.

Once your link is established (this authenticates and gives permission to WorldClock.Net to access your calendar information) you can view your upcoming schedule in an information panel on the main display (see the bottom-left corner of the main screenshot above).
