.TH XCHROM 1 "1 September 1988" "X Version 11"
.SH NAME
xchrom - CHROMACHRON like clock for X
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xchrom
[-\fItoolkitoption\fP ...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.I xchrom 
program displays the time in the CHROMACHRON format.  The time is
updated on a per minute basis.  This program is
nothing more than a wrapper around the xchrom widget not associated with
any particular widget set.
.PP
On a chronometer time is shown by hands and numerals.  Differently on
CHROMACHRON, the color-time-clock: Its face is not a dial but a
color-time-circle, over which a black disk revolves with a piece cut
out as large as a color segment.  The disk revolves with the speed of
one color area per hour.  The disk cut-out indicates the time.  If,
for example, this stands on yellow, it is 12 noon.  The more to be
seen of the following color, the nearer the next hour.
