HexCodeClock

HexCodeClock is a OS X Screensaver (I believe it works on 10.9 and and newer).

The idea is, that time would be formatted as HHmmss, but in 24-hour format. If we take that, turn it into a string, and run it though NSColor as hex, we get our HexCodeClock!

For example:

• It is currently 3:17:23pm.
• We take that in 24-hour time, as 15:17:23
• Remove the colons: 151723
• Add a pound sign so the time becomes a hexcolor: #151723

Version

1.0

Installation

This was written using Xcode 7.0.1 and Swift 2.0.

To install, double click the .saver file, and then go to Desktop & Screen Saver to preview the Screen Saver.

If you'd like to compile and run from Xcode, what you need to do is:

1. Quit System Preferences
2. Build the project in Xcode (⌘+B)
3. In the Products folder, right click on HexCodeClock.saver and click: Open in Finder.
4. Here you'll find the .saver file, double click to install. If System Preferences prompts you to replace the existing screen saver, press Replace
5. That's it!

To-Do!

• Change Font to San Francisco
• Build Light Variant (current version is too damn dark)
