The Colour Clock
This digital clock screensaver translates the current time into a hexadecimal color code. Hours are mapped to red, minutes to green and seconds to blue channels, so a new color code is generated every second. The background color is continually adjusted to the calculated color, and the hexadecimal code is shown just below the time, both displayed in a bold, white font. You can, however, opt to show only the time or only the color.

life saver
won't install It says the developer could not be located
Had this screensaver on my Surface and loved it! Can't get it to run on Mac at the moment though. Still a great screensaver — I find myself staring at it when I should be getting work done.

fine
I can't seem to find the ActiveX component required to use this screensaver, but it looks very promising!
This is so cool!
I use Windows 10 and it works :D
Using Windows 10, I don't know how to get it to run, sadly! I love the color clock in the browser, but my screen just won't save :(
Very cool and lots of customisation to make it exactly what you want.
Amazing! Very cool.
