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.

I installed that today, and it is exactly what I was looking for. No muss, no fuss, just a simple clock that does what I want. Thank you so much for the recommendation!
