-noshape
causes the clock to not reshape itself and ancestors to exactly fit the outline of the clock.

Colors

If you would like your clock to be viewable in color, include the following in the #ifdef COLOR section you read with xrdb:

*customization: -color


This will cause oclock to pick up the colors in the app-defaults color customization file: /tmp/Xorg-KEM/lib/X11/app-defaults/Clock-color. Below are the default colors:

Clock*Background: grey
Clock*BorderColor: light blue
Clock*hour: yellow
Clock*jewel: yellow
Clock*minute: yellow
