Nixie Clock

Nixie Clock is a small application that provides you with a new way to keep track of time, as it adds a Nixie tube clock on your desktop and also includes a similar-looking screensaver.
The clock can be customized in a number of ways. You can choose between two backgrounds, alter its size and opacity, as well as have the application play a sound when certain digits change.

Beautiful old-school desktop clock

Nixie tubes are made up of multiple cathodes shaped like numerals that give off an orange glow when affected by an electric charge. While the devices themselves are quite interesting, the important thing is that they look very cool.
This application does a good job of simulating such a device on your desktop, and the high-resolution graphics look great even on very large displays.

Customizable Nixie tube clock

The clock’s appearance can be modified in multiple ways, as you can change its size and opacity, select an alternative background and have it stay on top of all other windows.
Moreover, the application can play a sound whenever one of the digits changes, and you can specify whether this should happen when an hour, minute or second has passed.
In addition, the clock can be launched automatically at startup, and its position on your desktop is saved when you shut it down.

Comes with an optional screen saver

If you enjoy having the Nixie tube clock on your desktop, you can install a screensaver that is included in the downloaded archive. It has a similar look and feel, and it also offers an alternative background and sound effects.
All in all, Nixie Clock is a lightweight program for those who appreciate the design of classic Nixie tube clocks and wish to place one on their desktop. It offers several options for customization and also includes an optional screen saver.
