(About the author)
 
     This is an enhancement of the Transparent Analog Clock by Jonathan Rossing. I took his code and made a bunch of changes. It is stay on top, you can move it by clicking anywhere on the clock, it only shows itself in the system tray (not in the task list nor the task bar). And it works like a real clock (the hour hand increments as the minutes do) It also uses a bitmap for the clock face (at this time the bitmap must be changed at desing time). And the code is streamlined. This is a good demo of how to make a transparent form that hides itself from the system and is moveable by clicking anywhere on the form.

Hi Jonathan
Sorry about the average vote....
But I couldn't do any better because I had some of the problems that the other users had.
1) code didn't decode the time properly and give a runtime error.
2) the hour hand only changes on the hour change
3) use of variables like i and p

But I did like it enough to fix it up.

Thank you for the good start.
