Goldfinger Clock (utilities)

Goldfinger Clock 1.0


Category: Utilities
Price: $0.99 (iTunes)

Description:

This Clock is a little hommage to the third James Bond Movie "Goldfinger" from 1964 with Sean Connery and, as "Bad Guy" Auric Goldfinger, Gerd Froebe. He places an "Atomic Device" in Fort Knox (Set Design by genius Ken Adam). Its countdown was stopped - as an exception not from Bond himself - exactly 7 seconds before the explotion.

So called "Sidelits" were used as displays which are utterly rare and only manufactured for a very short time before those Nixie, filament, fluorescence, LED and LCD techniques appeared (for whom numerious clock implementations already exist for the iPhone). I've never seen "Sidelits" beyond the "Goldfinger" movie - stacks of thin glass plates with engraved "pixels" which reflect the light from a side mounted bulb upwards. Due to this construction the light of the current digit shines through the topmost plates. The "Goldfinger Clock" imitates this fading effect as well.

Features of the "Goldfinger Clock":

- Portrait or Landscape Mode.
- Disable Rotation as option.
- Hide Status Bar as option.
- User definable color and brightness for foreground and background.
- Automatic "Night Mode" with reduced arbitrary brightness.
- No "Vintage Shadow" as option.

- Disable iPhone's "Auto Lock" as option to keep "Goldfinger Clock" permanently visible.
- Show current day as option.
- Show date as "YYYY-MM-DD" or "DD-MM-YYYY".
- Show time as "HH:MM:SS" or "HH:MM".
- Undo for each Tab Page.
- Help for each Tab Page (Button "i" in the right corner).
- Setup is automatically saved on exit.
- Define days within periodical intervals (a useful gadget not only for Bond girls...).
