I would say that in general Hamster integration into the clock would make a lot of sense to me. The implementation opted by Jamie reads very decent, though I would like to have some kind of constant visual reminder about being "on the clock", or in reverse; that I may have forgotten to check in.

Perhaps a simple round clock-like icon, next to the time could be an option. Maybe it could fill up clockwise with some kind of friendly colour telling you how much of the hour you've been working. Add a number in the middle for any number of hours more than zero you have worked on "My Task" let give it a tooltip which gives some more information about the clocked-in task, and one gets a very compact representation of how long which current task has been active.

Though, this makes it more something for the indicator.

What if that filling-up clock icon would appear in the indicator area, as soon as you've checked in through the menu in the clock?
