Vista Clock is a replacement clock for your Mac's menubar. The default clock that comes with your Mac is good enough if you simply want to know what time it is. But with Vista Clock, there is so much more that you can do than just stare at a clock. Perhaps the first thing that I noticed after running Vista Clock for the first time is that a calendar pops up when you click on the time. This small calendar displays the current date and it has an analog clock that you can change in the preferences window. The application can also put event indicators on this calendar. These will appear on the days where you have events on iCal. You can't see the actual events, though. You have to open iCal for that.

Vista Clock is very customizable. You can change the way the time is displayed, you can change the analog clock in the calendar window and you can add more clocks to the calendar view. This is useful if you want to add a clock that tells you what time it is in another part of the world.

In short, honestly, Vista Clock is a much better clock than the stock one if what you want is customization options, a calendar and multiple clocks.

I see the same issues as the previous commentator.

I can live with the blurry text (which appears to be caused by the addition of drop shadows) but changed menu-bar placement is making me crazy... VistaClock is now always the leftmost menu-bar item for me, causing it to disappear frequently due to space issues.

VistaClock is a replacement/improvement of the system clock; if it can't be placed where the system clock normally sits, it's failing...

On my MBP running 10.9 the calendar looks like it is out of focus and the menu clock no longer loads in the same space as the original menu clock -- it loads to the left of other menu bar items - not good!!
