How to add a live clock on Windows 8 Desktop background

[Navya2]

Is it possible to add a live cock on Windows 8 Desktop background. I want to configure a clock so that when go on the desktop it can show me the latest time. I had tried finding out some software. But I can only get clock wallpapers. I want a live clock which can show me the current time and if possible the date also with month. But with nice animation effects. I do not want a static kind of clock. I am quiet sure there must be something which I am not able to locate.

For adding a live clock type of thing you need something like a live wallpaper. And this will slow down your pc. I think Dreamscene is the one that can help you to get that effect. It is a third party app which run live wallpaper on your screen. And it is also quiet heavy for system ram to manage. IF you are having ram more than 4GB then it will work fine. It has various choices to select wallpapers and add nice effects. Just test this. If the system slow down then remove the same.
