Analog desktop clock option disappeared in Leopard

I know this doesn't answer your specific question, but there is the option to show a floating digital clock clock on the Screensaver.

I was using the floating clock/calendar and now it's gone

I want it back.

I second this complaint!
I loved the floating clock face! A widget just won't do as a constant subtile reminder hovering in the corner.

I agree. I love MAC but boy do I hate it when companies get rid of features, what's up with that, I mean isn't it an upgrade? - not a big fan of the blue folders either everything just blends in too much. I hope they bring back the clock and some options to change folder icons.
🙂
please!!!!

I miss the clock! It was the first thing I noticed when I restarted after the upgrade. I say a letter writing campaign is in order.

Two freeware replacement analog clocks have now appeared:

A basic, simple clock with adjustable colors:

And one (analog or digital) with a face that indicates the active application:

Thanks!!

Ahhh, I know! Why remove the floating clock?? It was so useful!

Those freeware clocks are nice, but I want the digital clock with date and time together.

Let's revolt!

I'd like to add my voice/vote for loving the NOW MISSING digital clock w/ date. I especially miss the date feature!

I really miss that clock on the desktop. I still glance down to the lower right-hand corner looking for the time and there is only a void. (SIGH)

My mind is graphic-oriented (rather than text or word-oriented) and I prefer the analog clock. The tiny analog clock in the menu bar just doesn't do anything for me and although I like the Dashboard features, it requires two mouse moves - one to show the clock and one to get rid of it.

Thanks, Sarah.

I got Greg Weston's clock and I am a happy iMac user once again.

P.S. to the Leopard developers
This is the only nit I have (so far) with the new OS, but look at how much negative reaction it attracted! Never neglect the details and never, never, never take away a feature no matter how trivial it may seem.

Apple isn't going to see your disappointment in this forum as this is a user to user group. It's best to send them a feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Have a nice day.

Alas, a shortcoming found with the two freebies!

After a short trial I have discovered that neither clock works across Spaces. As an old X-Windows user (emphasis on the "old") I am reluctant to give up the Space feature. What to do, what to do? Forego the use of spaces and go back to a cluttered screen or live with a digital clock in the menu bar.

I think I'll bring in an actual, physical clock and put it on my desk. KISS seems to the the appropriate approach for this problem.

Like many others, I am extremely disappointed not to have the floating calendar/clock in Leopard. It was incredibly handy and I miss it!! What concerted effort can we make to request it be put back in???

Date- and time-challenged,

I am too very disappointed to see the floating analog clock missing...

I want it back, too!

I miss the analog clock that you could put in the dock (it's from the same one that floats). Apple took this out in 10.4 so I had to use the clock.app. I think I could use this in 10.5 but then that would mean it would use extra resources as it's a PPC app and I don't like this idea. So, I wish that Apple would give us the analog clock back (and with the option to load it in the dock)

While we are on the subject of complaining about clocks, how about making it a little easier to see the analog clock in the menubar? This would be my clock of choice if I could see it without a magnifying glass.
