There's no fog! The author of "master clock" has this as one of his clocks, but it must be an old version, because the chimes are wack, but there IS fog. What happened to the fog?

The original version is now safe and sound. Watch for a separate 2.0 Big Ben widget to be live soon.

I love this widget, it transports me back in time every night when I go to bed. It doesn't seem to chime consistently, but I just am grateful when it does chime... my favorite by far.

It chimes all over the place. It struck 12 times at midnight a couple of nights ago, then did nothing until it struck 10 times at 10am the next morning, it then struck correctly on the hour for another few hours, and then stopped chiming altogether. Exiting and restarting gets it going again, so it seems a bit buggy.

This is a good widget, but it could be great with some adjustable settings. The options to mute the chimes and turn off the fog would be nice.

Great widget. I agree that chiming the hour number would be very nice.

Love the widget, but is it possible to have it chime the hour number as well? I have it set up as a standalone channel, then at 2 mins before the hour, I have an alarm set to switch to that channel. Every hour, I hear Big Ben chime. Adding an hour count would be wonderful.
