    Need simple yet advanced timer/alarm clock


    Hello,

    I am looking for a clock for my desktop, and would like to get some recommendations from other users. I have found nothing specifically for Windows 7, and all of the ones that look good in reviews are only for older OS's. My basic requirements are:
    • That it be aesthetically pleasing - not ugly, but doesn't need to have to have a lot of colors and customizations either, mostly just blue and black.

    • That it has the ability to set both alarms for a specific time of the day, and for a countdown alarm. Perhaps at the most, one of each at the same time (alarm clock and countdown timer).

    • Easy to use and uses a small amount of system resources. Small screen space, so I can have it on top of my other applications without it getting in the way.
    • Option to always "keep on top" of other applications.

    Your advice on this is greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help.
