In order to get the program to run:
-
Download and unzip the entire repository. (Click on the green "Code" button and then select "Download ZIP." Unzip the folder once it has downloaded.)
-
Cut and paste the tzdata folder from the repository folder into your C:\Users[username]\Downloads folder (where [username] is your actual username). The tzdata folder contains time zone information that the program will need in order to run. The path of the tzdata folder should look like C:\Users[username]\Downloads\tzdata.
-
To run the program, go back into the repository folder, open the Release folder, and then double-click on CWClock.exe (whose type is displayed as "Application."
-
You will likely need to give the program permission to run when launching it for the first time. If you get a message saying "Windows protected your PC," click on "More info" and then select "Run anyway" near the bottom.
ConsoleWorldClock is a minimalist program that shows the current time in 26 different cities around the world. It is meant to display lots of information within a relatively small footprint.
The console window can be narrowed in order to display times within an even smaller frame:
To view a list of sources/credits, visit the program's main .cpp file, available at https://github.com/kburchfiel/ConsoleWorldClock/blob/master/CLClockv2.cpp .
The times on the clock update every minute around ~0 to ~100 milliseconds after the minute on your computer's clock changes. Times are shown in 12-hour format.
