Floating Clock Widget

A simple, floating, always-on-top desktop clock built with Python and Tkinter.
Designed to display live time in any selected timezone via a dropdown menu.
This project was created as a personal learning journey — to understand application structure, Python packaging, and cross-platform deployment.

Features

• Always-on-top floating clock window
• Selectable timezones via dropdown (major world cities)

• Dark-themed minimalist design
• Built using only Python standard libraries (tkinter, zoneinfo, datetime)
• Packaged into standalone .exe and Linux binaries using PyInstaller

Motivation & Learning Goals

This project was built to:

• Learn Python through a small but complete application
• Understand GUI development with tkinter
• Practice timezone-aware programming using zoneinfo
• Learn to use virtual environments, requirements.txt, and Python packaging tools
• Explore PyInstaller to create platform-specific binaries
• Prepare a mini-project for my GitHub profile to reflect my growth as a developer
