Analog Clock in VB.Net

Here is the code to draw analog clock.

Declaration:

Private _padding As Integer = 10
  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
    End Set
  End Property

Drawing Function:

Sub DrawClock(ByVal g As Graphics, ByVal time As DateTime)
    g.Clear(BackColor)
    g.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, New Rectangle(_padding, _padding, _dimension, _dimension))
    g.DrawEllipse(Pens.Black, New RectangleF(_center - 1, _center - 1, 2, 2))

    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))
  End Sub

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.

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.
