Lithium

Description

Lithium is a simple clock-and-visualizer with a minimalist influence.  I had created it for personal use, but was vaguely inspired by the Radiolab podcast "Elements" (here: www.radiolab.org/story/element…) and decided to polish it up and post it.

I could pretend that there are three buttons to match the element's atomic number, 3, or that clicking the left-most button makes the skin reactive to sound (changing colors with added blue for bass, green for mids, and red for highs), because of something to do with the element's high reactiivity, but in reality that's more of a happy coincidence.  And also, note that the right-most button is essentially useless.

But keeping to the theme of balance, the skin can be swapped - with the middle button - between a silvery-off-white color and black, to make it more visible on whatever background you use.

If you don't have Office 365, the font will not work.  If anyone has this issue, yell at me here and I'll go through the pain of redistributing the font (Yu Gothic & Yu Gothic Light) with the skin.  Dotum & DotumChe are similar enough, though, and the resources folder contains a word document and a .pdf that both show comparisons between the original and other fonts. 

The wallpaper in the image above is of Lake Como, Italy, found here: www.reddit.com/r/wallpapers/co…

And of course, here's a shot of the visualizer in action: i.imgur.com/vyIfdQy.png
