  Private _center As Integer = 110
  Private _hourhand As Integer = 50
  Private _minutehand As Integer = 75
  Private _secondhand As Integer = 60
  Private _dimension As Integer = 200
  Public Property Dimension() As Integer
    Get
      Return _dimension
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As Integer)
      If value Mod 2 = 1 Then value += 1
      _dimension = value
      _center = _dimension / 2
      _hourhand = (_dimension / 2) * 0.5
      _minutehand = (_dimension / 2) * 0.75
      _secondhand = (_dimension / 2) * 0.6
      _center = (_dimension / 2) + _padding

    g.DrawString(time.ToString("dd ") & time.DayOfWeek.ToString.ToUpper.Substring(0, 3), Font, Brushes.Black, _dimension - _center / 2, _center)

    Dim hourAngle As Double = ((time.Hour + (time.Minute / 60)) Mod 12) * 2 * Math.PI / 12
    Dim minuteAngle As Double = time.Minute * 2 * Math.PI / 60
    Dim secondAngle As Double = time.Second * 2 * Math.PI / 60

    g.DrawLine(Pens.Red, _center, _center, _center + CInt(Math.Sin(hourAngle) * _hourhand), _center - CInt(Math.Cos(hourAngle) * _hourhand))
    g.DrawLine(Pens.Blue, _center, _center, _center + CInt(Math.Sin(minuteAngle) * _minutehand), _center - CInt(Math.Cos(minuteAngle) * _minutehand))
    g.DrawLine(Pens.Green, _center, _center, _center + CInt(Math.Sin(secondAngle) * _secondhand), _center - CInt(Math.Cos(secondAngle) * _secondhand))

    Google Chrome: Home and Bookmarks buttons

    Many users, using Google Chrome, have noticed that it has no Home and Bookmarks button.




    For bookmarks it has bookmark bar, but it's not good if you have too many bookmarks to manage. How can you get those buttons.

    Getting home button is very easy. Just go to chrome settings: Click "Option" under

















    Just check "Show Home button on the toolbar" and you are done.
    To see specific page as home page instead of your recent sites thumbnails, select open this page, and enter whichever page you like to see.

    To add bookmark button you have to use command switch of chome --bookmark-menu.
    It will get your bookmark button when you open chrome next time.

    (i.e.) "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --bookmark-menu

    If you don't know how to do this, then you can alternatively do the following.
    Close all open chrome instances.
    Right click chrome shortcut, and go to property.
    In target, just append  --bookmark-menu
    Now when you open chrome, you'll get bookmark button.
