There have been a few updates to the Digital Retro Clock gadget. The first update added compatibility to the newly released Google Desktop 5.8. Another update Yesterday added two new features

1. It is now possible to hide the blinking dot. I always thought it wouldn't be distracting but I realized that if there are more than one gadget in the sidebar and the dots are not in sync it really is distracting and odd.
2. I also added support to add cusstom text on the clock instead of the timezone.

The new version is available on the download page and will be listed as an update in your add gadgets dialog soon.
