Description
Inspired by Archimedes Spiral www.bing.com/images/search?q=A…

2 versions included (Clockwise & Counter-Clockwise spiral rotation)
Scale-able to any size using mouse scroll wheel
Spirals (seconds, minutes, and hours) Colors select-able; choice of clear/frosted
Outside Frame & Center Orb Colors select-able; Can be hidden
TimeScale: Sliver, Black, White, None
Choose All Colors via included Context menu Spectrum Selector
All Overlays Graphics (Frame, Face, Center, Cross Hairs, & Time Scale) can be Toggled Visible/Invisible via Context Menu

The spirals will cross the time scale telling you the time. I would suggest using 3-color schemes you can remember easily, like RGB=H:M:S.

In the clockwise version, the ends of the spirals point to the hours, minutes, and seconds; no need to show the time scale.
