Remarks
Majora’s Clock was a proof-of-concept of how to embed a C#-Application to the Windows Desktop like a Windows 7 Gadget. It was an success in general, although there are some flaws according the transparency and the Show Desktop functionality (Win+D). Even it’s beta, the core functionality of the counter works well. The code and knowledge gained by this project may flow into a future project. The tool is named after the heavily time-based videogame The Legend of Zelda – Majora´s Mask.
