About Just a Clock - the Hours
Just a clock, in your Chrome toolbar; Nice and big and simple. There are 2 extensions, one for the Hours and one for the Minutes. I built this because I usually have a full screen app/game/video going on my main monitor and can't see the clock. My browser is usually on my 2nd monitor and now I can always see the time at a glance! This is JUST THE HOURS (12 or 24 hour modes available) and meant to be paired with the "Just a Clock - The Minutes" extension in your toolbar and positioned to its LEFT. Remember to also install the MINUTES: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pgmgkfgcnigcopcjhilfabbdgmjmkogj -- Now with 24 hour support because you asked for it! -- And Desktop Notifications upon the hour can be turned on in Options -- Also, white numbers for dark themes are available in Options - Russian translation provided by Ross Yes - Turkish translation provided by Kerem Özen - German translation provided by Arshad Tayyeb - Italian translation provided by Stefano Moris - Dutch translation provided by Joery van Druten If you like it please let me know in the comments. If you have any suggestions or requests please also let me know.
