FlipClock is an appropriately named and wonderfully simple screen saver for Mac OS X that does nothing but show you the time in a very nice retro flip clock fashion. Dec 05, 2016 Have you seen those cool minimalistic Mac setup photos that have all your favorite gadgets placed on a desktop. A lot of them feature a flip clock Mac screensaver that gives the whole setup a retro and minimalistic look. If you have been looking for that particular flip clock Mac screensaver, then you have come. Fliqlo Flip Clock. A flip clock screensaver for Windows and Mac OS X that tells the time against a black background in either a 12-hour or 24-hour format. Along with the format, the size of the old-fashioned flip clock can also be customized, from 25% to 125% of the original size.
Have you noticed some of the cool new screen savers in Mac OS X Mountain Lion? Many of them have nice effects like flashing and rotating colors, moving text, word of the day, iTunes artwork, and photo slideshows. Sure you can add the time to any screen saver that you choose, but what if you want your entire screen to display a clock?
An elegant alternative to Mountain Lion’s default screen savers is a simple flip clock – appropriately named FlipClock. This screen saver does one thing only: displays the current time. It’s a simple, yet comes in handy and looks nice.
So how do you get it on your Mac? Easy, just follow these steps:
1. Download the FlipClock file from the website, unzip the file.
2. Click on the .saver file in the FlipClock folder to install the screen saver; you can install it for all users or just yourself – useful if you have more than one user account on your Mac.
3. Type in your user password when prompted, to complete the installation.
4. Now select the FlipClock screen saver, listed under the “Screen Savers” section.
5. You’ll also want to disable the “show the clock” feature, since your screen saver itself is a clock. Surely you don’t need two clocks on the screen.
The final result is a large flip clock with a dark background.
Note: This screen saver only works with Mac OS X Lion (10.8).
