In an earlier review we wrote that Chameleon Clock is a simple program, but it is the best we have seen for the simple function of displaying the time of day (and the date) on your computer screen.
   Now, though, there is more.
   Two new features stand out: its ability to use internet time servers to make your time display (and your system clock) 100 percent accurate and the addition of alarms.
   We've never been enamored with alarms, but Chameleon Clock, true to its basic simple design, makes these easy, too, if you want to use them. What we like about its alarms, especially, is the ability to have long text messages that pop up at alarm time.  Its a good addition.
   So, too, are the timeservers. If you care enough about the time, you might as well have the right time. What Chameleon Clock does is automatically connect with one of several web sites which keep accurate track of the time. It is almost like having an atomic clock in your computer. Heck, I now set my watch by the computer, rather than the other way around.
   As to the time function, what could be more simple than this. I put it up on the top right of my screen, just to the right of where the maximize, minimize and close buttons are, and I can glance up and see what time it is. Obviously larger than the little numbers which reside in the system tray's clock, Chameleon Clock does just what I want it to do: tells me how late it is and what day it is without getting in the way of anything.
   But, of course, there is more.
   Chameleon Clock uses what are called "skins" to determine the background of the actual clock and the types of letters it uses. There are a ton of skins, because they are also used for another program which changes the face of an audio player application. Chameleon Clock provides a number of skins itself, has more on its web site, and probides lines to a bunch more. You change the look of the clock by simply clicking on one of the different skins you can make available.
   Some of them are smaller than the one I am using; others are much larger. I suppose it just depends on how much you care about the time.
   The bottom line, however, is Chameleon Clock is easy to use, takes up practically no system resources, and gives you the time of day and the date at a glance. It does just what it is supposed to do, does it well and is a very, very welcome utility you will use, if you will pardon the pun, all the time.
