More than a clock, VelaClock displays the current level of natural light (daylight, twilight, or night), sun and moon rise/set times, moon phase information, local times and country flags for cities throughout the world. VelaClock takes advantage of the Dashboard feature in Apple's Mac OS X version 10.4 "Tiger". No internet connection is required.

VelaClock is a unique widget in that it is completely self-contained. Many widgets are light weight front-ends to web services; such widgets require an internet connection. By contrast, VelaClock is designed to function without an internet connection, and so is particularly useful for laptop users away from their home or office. Astronomical calculations are performed by an internal code module.

VelaClock supports the new 2007 Daylight Saving Time rules. VelaClock uses its own set of time zone and Daylight Saving Time rules (separate from Mac OS X). To ensure that your Mac is able to display the correct time please refer to "About Daylight Saving Time changes in 2007" from Apple's support website.

REQUIREMENTS: Mac OS 10.4 or later
