Change Windows Clock's font size

For a transparent background, use TClock light.

TClock Light

Ah, ok, thanks alot!

It is possible to change the font size of the system tray clock BUT its not easy. It involves editing the systems in the .msstyle file.

I was able to do it as I have already purchased a program called Vista Style Builder

Here it is if anyone wants it. It's a no install app.

TClock 229b.zip - File Shared from Box.net - Free Online File Storage

To get that 3 line display like mine, use this in the format options

h:nn:ss tt\n dddd \n mmm dd yyyy

I d/l the file from the link you gave and clciked on the "exe" file after unzupping. Nothing happened. Checking Task Manager I find the executable is running but the default Win 7 clock is still there with nothing else. Running as Admin makes no difference.

I am using Win 7 RC 7100 64 bit. Wonder if it is the 64 bit that is screwing it up?

wow, tclock light. i used that back in xp. i'm impressed that it still works!

too bad it kills access to the popup calendar, i use that every day...

**Bump**

Same problem here. None of these system tray clocks seem to work in Win7x64.

How would you like it like this:



I just stated using TClock today for the first time in a long time. I could upload it if you like. It is very customizeable.

I've been using something similar ever since Win95 called TClockEx. Last updated in 2000, but I use it now in Win Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Can't live without it, has a click-calendar as well. The memory variable on it (for displaying) is limited to 2GB, but I still use it to show if I'm really dipping into the memory.

Really hoping I can use it with Win7, but I'm also going 64-bit so I have no idea if it will even run.

Well, you could right click an empty spot on the desktop, select "Personalize", select "Display" from the left side of the dialog, and check "Smaller - 100%(default)". The problem there is, everythng else on the desktop will resize also.

Hi there, my OP is Windows 7/64, I sure like it. I had XP before, and got used to the "Clock tray skins" what I missing a lot. Would it be possible to have something similar task tray clock other than what Win7 offers. Would appreciate any help or direction to my problem.
