Desktop gadgets are well known for adding more vigor to the desktop. Some very commonly used gadgets include the ones that display time and date in a stylish way. However, they can also be obstructive and CPU intensive. If you are interested in getting a slick display of time and date on your desktop, then a better way is to use wallpaper clocks. A wallpaper clock is a wallpaper with an integrated clock. Which eliminates the need of using obstructive gadget clocks. In this post we will tell you how to get a stylish wallpaper clock(s) for your Ubuntu desktop.

The first thing you need in order to get a wallpaper clock is the Screenlets application, which allows adding some common apps like the calculator, clock, calendar, Rss feed, Appmenu, etc. You can get Screenlets from the following command:

sudo apt-get install screenlets

After installation, launch Screenlets in Ubuntu from Applications –> Accessories. Screenlet options can  be managed from the system tray after being launched.

To get a wallpaper clock, double click Wallpaper Clock. You can also check the Auto Start option for launching WallpaperClock at startup.

This will display a clock icon on the desktop. Right-click on the clock and choose Install Wallpaper Clock, and select a .WCZ file of a downloaded wallpaper clock from a link given at the end of this post or by selecting Download More Clock from the context menu shown in the screenshot below.
