Overlay Clock Chrome Extension: Display Digital Clock Anywhere on Screen

Overlay Clock is a Chrome extension that shows a digital clock in a semi-transparent patch at any corner of the screen. It comes with configurable options for colors and opacity as well as the choice of a 12- or 24-hour clock. The clock feature can be limited to fullscreen mode only, making it perfect for reading activities such as using the Kindle Cloud Reader. It builds on the features of the original Overlay Clock extension, with updates to eliminate any website conflicts.
