"How can I make the clock a desktop feature be it full screen or quarter screen or something?"

As far as I know, you can't!

Sorry.

If you find a way, please post it here!

I'm sure I've seen one somewhere on the web, here however is a site with many downloadable clocks as screensavers :

EDIT:
If you've got a Mac here's a BBC Clock Dashboard widget :

As I am "Apple" orientated thanks for that, however a screensaver would be nice!

Thanks to Dickie Mint for the link to the Presentation Clock screen saver...I am now enjoying this on my computer and have cut down the time delay to four minutes to make sure of seeing it more often!
