Main Features and Hints

BaseClock displays by special "digits" the time encoded to a number base in range 2-60. Encoded is each of the time items (hours, minutes, seconds). For base 2 this is known as "Binary encoded decimals".
The display is unique (I invented that) as it doesn't use characters for digits > 9 but decimal "columns". This is very easy to read and (manually) to write. There are 16 options for the display
The sample stack displays 17 clocks to different number bases. One display cycle for a seconds display is done by each widget in < 3 millisecs (compute and paint).
This stack shows an essential improvement of LCB 9 over LCB 8: The clocks are much more "in sync" than in LC 8. And it has a substack that is prepared for displaying a baseClock "window shaped".
Note. Some properties of the widget are triggered by the timer, which is (as all timers) stopped in the property inspector. So you may see the changes not before going back to browse mode.
After installation of the widget and restarting LiveCode find detailed help in the dictionary.
