I'm looking for something that displays seconds.
The built in clock (the one you see if you double click on the time in the system tray) shows seconds.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes, but I don't want to have the Properties window on display all the time. [eta: I'll surely change something in an AltTab mistake]
I futzed around and found Qlock, which fits my needs neatly. It'd be even better if it floated transparently on top of everything, but I'll make do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Thinking of buying an LCD television set? Wait no longer: The price plunge is over. After years of accelerating decline, prices for consumer LCD TVs -- especially those smaller than 32 inches -- have hit bottom, industry insiders say.

I need to find some transparent jpeg (?) icons that are free, are from the same icon set, and represent news segments (entertainment, world news, U.S. news, travel, food, technology, etc.). Anyone know of such a beast?
ETA: These are to display on a Web site.

You're not going to get transparent and JPG--you'll need GIF for that, and it's a dicey proposition since the sides need to be either horizontal or vertical with no anti-aliasing for you to achieve true transparency.
Or PNG--that'll get you true transparency. Do most browsers support it now?
But I have no idea where to find them. Just wanted to tweak your search.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

IE was the last holdout on transparent PNG's -- but of course, that's a pretty big holdout, as far as market share goes. As of IE7, it's now supported, but I don't have numbers handy for how many IE users have made the switch.

Hmm. I wonder if I have any browser stats lying around for our user base...not that we're that representative.
Nah, nothing past 2006 which is more IE6.

Hey. New board.
Why oh why did IE reject PNG for so goldarn long? I've been using it for, seriously, years. I have a book that was written 10 years ago saying that it was the future.
Although, apparently SMF (the web forum I use over on my other community) converts all avatars to PNG when it resizes them, and i haven't gotten any complaints that avatars are available. So are we sure about that IE thing? Maybe IE pre 7 just sucked at the transparency bit?
