What's the point?
=================
The ProppFrexx ONAIR Time is a standalone clock control inspired by the 
classic Gorgy-Timing LEDI(R) layout. 
Right-Click on the clock to change the layout and set some options,
like multi-colored display, choosing custom colors, show second digits,
show a minute rim etc.


Licence
=======
The ProppFrexx ONAIR Time application is free. You can freely use it.
No license is required. But all files must remain intact and unmodified.
Deassembling of any portion of this software is prohibited.


Requirements
============
ProppFrexx ONAIR Time needs the .Net Framework 4.8 or above to be installed on the target machine.
Normally there is no need to manually install the .Net Framework, as it should already be
there on almost any machine. If you anyhow need to install it, you can get it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/net


SETUP
=====
No setup is required - all files are provided in a single ZIP file.
However, all the above files must reside in the same directory.


Command-Line parameters
=======================
The following command-line parameters can be used to start ProppFrexx Time:
--left n	: the x position of the window in pixel (else default)
--top n		: the v position of the window in pixel (else default)
--offset f      : the time-zone offset to UTC as a float value, e.g. +2 hours
--timezone s	: the time-zone name to be displayed
Example:
"ProppFrexx Time.exe" --top 100 --left 500 --timezone "New York" --offset -4


HINT
====
The application takes its time from the system clock and does NOT synchronize with any
internet time clock (atomic time services), this because your OS is already doing so!
But Windows actually only synchronizes the system time every 7 days as per default.
You can easily change this update intervall to achieve a greater time precision.
Just change the "SpecialPollInterval" value in the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
This value is given in seconds.
E.g. to let Windows synchronize the system time every hour set this value to 3600.


Have fun,
