An arc clock designed to be naturally readable to the minute while maintaining a minimum quantity of elements. Two ways to read the current 5-minute interval are demonstrated. All movements are delay corrected to be accurate to the second.

Left-click to toggle digital time / date / blank and day of the week / month / blank.
Middle-click to toggle shadow.
Right-click to toggle color / alternate color.
Use the config pop-up below the digital display to set color / alternate color and toggle shadow.

Included font is Sinner by Helge Barske; it will not be installed to the system.

Check out PolarCPU and PolarDisk for matching system meters.

Philippe Starck has nothing on this.

My only problem is that I desire to switch the color AWAY from Black or white...

Rather than bother explaining, I've added a UI to allow access to these settings without digging into the guts of the skin. Come get the new version.

Thanks, I spent quite some time combing through the settings and stuff for the skin, got nowhere

You're welcome, enjoy experimenting with all the garish, nauseating colors you want that I don't even want to think about.

Nah, I was merely looking for it to be more visible, mine is currently red, thank you

hey, I'm a big fan of the clock and i've been using it for a while, but I have a question.

whenever i try to change the color of an element, the second hand for example, from the default #color# to a hex value, the color changes normally, but the skin's font is changed to something like Calibri (probably the system font). I don't always use the text so it's not a big problem, but it would be nice if i could make it work.

any ideas what's up? and thanks again for posting your work up here.

Though I am unable to reproduce your problem, that behavior means you have a syntax error and Rainmeter is reverting to default display settings. Font is controlled by "LocalFont=#CURRENTPATH#SINNER__.TTF" in the [Rainmeter] section and "FontName=sinner" in the [Variables] section.

In 1.1 I moved the variables, like #Color#, to "C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\PolarPrecise\Settings.inc", so they could be *ahem* easily changed across the whole skin.
