-bw width

-shape

causes the clock to use the Shape extension to create an oval window. This is the default unless the shapeWindow resource is set to false.

-noshape

causes the clock to not reshape itself and ancestors to exactly fit the outline of the clock.

-transparent

causes the clock to consist only of the jewel, the hands, and the border.

-help

prints a usage message and exits.

-version

prints version info and exits.

If you would like your clock to be viewable in color, include the following in the #ifdef COLOR section you read with xrdb:

*customization:                 -color

This will cause oclock to pick up the colors in the app-defaults color customization file: /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Clock-color. Below are the default colors:

Clock*Background: grey
Clock*BorderColor: light blue
Clock*hour: yellow
Clock*jewel: yellow
Clock*minute: yellow
