1.5 Overview

This module implements all available features of Simon Bairds CoolClock Javascript. Where other clock modules provide a limited number of skins, this module provides 19 predefined skins plus the ability to define your own! Any number of clocks may be present with or without custom skins!

Each configuration item heading has a mouseover tooltip which explains the values expected by the input. Play with it and you'll find some very interesting combinations.

Why is this software free?

I’m ditching the freemium game and giving this software to the Joomla crowd for free. It’s a nod to “Jumla”—Swahili for “all together”—because fragmentation sucks, and I’d rather focus on innovation and paid gigs. Use it, build with it, and if you need custom work, I’m super into that.

What's The Catch?

There isn’t one! I’m all about building tools that empower the Joomla community and spark creativity. This software’s free because I’d rather see it in your hands - fueling awesome projects. If you really feel like paying something, I’d appreciate a review in the Joomla Extension Directory—your feedback means a lot!
