This is now both an icon and a widget that you could certainly use on your desktop. Both are included in the zipfile.
Pleeeeeease vote!
Changes:
o Hands rotate to more or less the start position when the chain is pulled.
o The help valve shrinks when the widget is resized.
o Tooltip added to the help page
o New sound added, sounds effects re-ordered
o New security and dock images
Taking an older widget I was dissatisfied with and making it better. Well, actually making it worse, grunging it and weathering it, breaking bits off, adding shadows, menu options, making the crane and the valve actually function. Adding sounds &c.
You can see the widget in more detail and with more imagery here:

The widget clock is a moveable widget that you can move anywhere around the desktop as you require. It tells the time just as you would expect it to do so.
Double-clicking on the Clock will cause a personalised Windows/Mac application to fire up. The first time you run it there will be no assigned function and so it will state as such and then pop up the preferences so that you can enter the command of your choice. The widget takes command line-style commands for windows or Mac OS/X.
This is part of a small set of icons/widgets for your desktop, there are plenty more.
Not quite sure what you are going to use the icon for, possibly for acces to some time or calendar function? That is up to you to decide. This icon is eminently usable on windows/ Mac OS/X / Linux &c. The widget is usable on both Windows and Macs.
The widget is a Yahoo widget and it needs the yahoo widget engine. You can get that here: http://lightquick.co.uk/steampunk-widgets.html?Itemid=264
Here is just one more over 360 steampunk icons that I have created that will leave your Windows or Mac desktop looking absolutely spiffing. There is a whole set of the little thingies and I must say they do look very steampunk indeed! They really are a suitable replacement for the boring old default icons that come with Rocketdock/ObjectDock &c.
This icon and the others like it will spruce up your desktop and give it a bit of Victorian class. Compatible with MobyDock, ObjectDock, RK Launcher, and your default Windows icons.
Provided in the following formats:
Multiple size PNGs
Windows multiple size .ICO
Mac OS/X .ICNS
Mac OS/X finder format

If you want any new icons then just ask! I am always open to new (or old) ideas - please leave a comment, these icons are quite hard to do and a nice comment makes my day.
Rocketdock Installation: In the rocketdock folder there is a subfolder called icons. Move these icons into that folder or create a subfolder called steampunk icons and copy them in there. Then you simply change each of your individual icon images to any one of these. Easy enough.
The only condition for downloading and using is that you leave feedback. Please leave a message and rate the icons as it is the only payment I get for creating this small desktop addition :D
Thanks! Do enjoy the icon.
Download here - that's it, just there. Ooh yes, that's lovely, thankyou.
