Hello tso! Could you elaborate a bit more on that idea? Are you suggesting moving all the buttons to another display, so that there are no longer any buttons along the bottom of the window? If so, why would that be better that currently?

Thanks for the positive comment on that The most recent version of MEphemeris also has a 'sun clock' (not released yet), so I wondered if I could duplicate a 'mini' version of it in MChronos. The weird hassle with doing 'transparent shading' in these desktop applets is that it looks like I have to use a radically different technique to do this, which was very confusing for me -- but I suppose that is a side-effect of the whole 'transparent desktop applet' API.
