Sunclock cannot be resized (easily or with quality) because the clock
image used is a bitmap.  It isn't a list of vectors.

One thing you can do (which I did) is to grab the source, resize the bitmap
(using xv, pbm, or similar), clean up the bitmap (using your favorite
bitmap/pixmap editor), change the bitmaps.h include file, and recompile.

If anyone wants a hacked 320x160 or 1024x512 world bitmap for sunclock,
let me know, and I'll mail it/them to you.  (Default is 640x320.)
	 (Sorry, I did not create 1152x576 or 1280x640 versions.)

Sunclock is a wonderful program!  One of the best programs of its kind
that I've seen in X-land.  Be happy with it!
