Question Need software to display weather, time, and maybe news on Windows 10.

I wanna turn my old laptop into a kitchen clock for mom.

It was a lousy laptop anyway and I never use it.

Want a Windows 10 program that will display time and weather in large type on the screen and maybe a news stream on the bottom, if she wants. Am willing to pay money if its a great program.
Dumb as it may sound I cannot actually find software which will do this for me. Amazon has plenty of kitchen helper devices but I dont see the need to buy new gadgets right now.

You could try out Desktop Ticker.

I have not tried it so I cannot give an opinion on it but it seems to offer what you are looking for.

that doesnt really do what I want. But it finally occurred to me that instead of an installed program, maybe some websites will do what I want.
Sure enough:
http://www.clocktab.com/#

Now I just need a way to display the weather as well. And of course disable the screen saver.
