-By default this program will set your root windows name to the time in binary, however if you run with -d it will display the time in decimal (HH:MM).
+This program sets your X servers root window name as the current time in 12-hour binary. This allows dwm (and possibly other) window managers use it in their status bar. I use it with dwm as a clock to practice recognising binary numbers quickly.
