Feature overview

Customize your desktop clock.

Build your own look instead of choosing a fixed preset. Adjust typography, glass, colors, shadows and wallpaper depth independently to suit your desktop.

DepthTick running on Windows desktop

Designed around you

Start with the clock. Make it yours.

TYPE & TIME

Every font changes the mood.

Use the included Rajdhani family or almost any installed Windows font. Adjust size and vertical height, choose 12- or 24-hour time, show or hide the colon and AM/PM, and apply colors to different time elements.

Your font sets the character of the clock.
POSITION & BEHAVIOR

Placed exactly where you want it.

Drag the widget into position, center it horizontally or vertically, or turn on click-through so desktop clicks pass straight through the clock. Manage its startup behavior through Windows startup-app settings.

Three visual approaches

From optical glass to barely-there.

Prism, Blur and Transparent change how the clock interacts with the wallpaper.

P

Prism glass

Samples the wallpaper to refract light through the clock. Shape it with Lens Depth, Lens Shape, Light Bend and edge highlights.

B

Soft blur

Creates a frosted, readable feel for visually busy or highly detailed backgrounds. Adjust the blur strength to fit the scene.

T

Transparent

Uses clock shape, font, fill and shadow without the wallpaper-sampling glass or blur effect.

Six tabs. One look that is yours.

Made for your desktop

Make it subtle.
Make it a statement.

One widget can be a quiet glass accent or the defining element of a whole desktop setup. You decide how far to take it.
