About

xarclock tells the time, similar to xclock.

From the README file:

If clocks had been invented in Argentina (southern hemisphere),  they would
run anti-clockwise. Down there a sundial runs the other way around!

The program is an extension of the standard X clock widget.  New features are:
Configurable direction of rotation and font support in analog mode.

Below are screenshots showing a clock with roman numerals going clockwise, and a different clock showing the time going anti-clockwise.

You can also change the colours of the hands and render the clock in reverse colour (think b&w displays).
