rong Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I can see the time day and date with the one that comes with XP, why do you need another ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I can see the time day and date with the one that comes with XP, why do you need another ?I need to hover over the time in order to see the date - day of the week is not visible. Perhaps there is a setting adjustment which I have not applied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Double size, I have all my short cuts on my task bar and have it hidden to give me the full screen for anything I'm doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Why do you want something that sits on your screen when Alfaclock replaces the existing clock in the toolbar. It can be configured to show what you wish to be displayed in the way of date/hrs/mins, at what size, what fonts and what background. It has an alarm, calendar & will even speak the time at intervals you set. Much better in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Here's another way.Get Vista Ultimate (you may need a new computer to run it)Set the gadget sidebar to always showLoad a calendar, clock (analogue or digital - plenty to chose from), CPU Meter and scribble pad.Then you will always see the date, day, time, how your CPU is loaded and have a little scribble pad to write notes and reminders on.Good innit.

rong Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 No messWhat's the point of having a desktop with nothing on it...?I hardly ever see it, and it's easier to use the quick launch than minimise the program you are using to open another, so there's no point having desktop icons. I was running my mother board monitoring thing and cut it down to three boxes about half inch by a quarter and they where always in the way so a clock with day and date would be even more so.

You can also position it wherever you wish on the desktop. I just happen to like it bottom right, because it interferes least of all there. :DBy the way, I just discovered that you can 'close' it, if you wish. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
