Steampunk Thermionic Nixie Tube Yahoo Widget

This is a simple widget that displays a continuous time update on your desktop. It is based upon Nixie tubes that were used as status indicators/displays in the 50/60s - 70s. The originals have a character of their own which this widget aims to replicate.

New version:

o Updated menus
o New licence code
o The nixie tube that indicates the seconds can be clicke upon to lock the widget in place

This widget acts as a simple clock upon your desktop and as an extra benefit it is also a moveable bit of eye-candy. It is a fully working widget. Please feel free to download it.

You will, of course, need Yahoo widgets for this widget to run. Get Yahoo widgets here:

This widget works with Windows, it has been tested on Vista, Windows 7/8 and 10, even Mac Os/X so it should work on these with no problems.

On Windows the installation guide is simple, install yahoo widgets, double click on the desktop hole widget and you are done!

On OS/X it is a tiny bit more involved:

========================================================
Instructions for running Yahoo widgets on Mac OS/X, all recent versions including Sierra.

Edit the following file:

com.yahoo.widgetengine.plist which is in /Users/xxx/Library/Preferences. Look for these lines: <key>DockOpen</key>
<string>false</string>

Change to false if it is true.

Then you should be able to start Yahoo! Widgets and the menubar item should appear. Widgets can then be started from the menubar or by double-clicking them in the usual way.
