Hello,

I would like to introduce you to my new free program.
A very easy to use application developed to replace the standard Windows clock with skins.

Home page:
Free Desktop Clock download for Windows

I want to hear your opinion :)

Can the ones with the full date be used when the Taskbar is set to use small icons? I would much rather set it to use small icons, but then I can't display the date with the default clock. Right now, I have the date showing ddd. MMM dd, yyyy.

For the most part. Is that with small icons?

If so, then are there others like this that show the full date that work with small icons?

(by the way, my date is displayed like this: Sat. June 29, 2013 - I had to manually set it up that way because that's just how I wanted it and it's still how I want it to this day)

Yes, with small icons.
Every skin have own config file "settings.ini"
you can open folder skin 'new3' and change this section

top=-9

Wow. I love this. I really do! Thank you!

My only complaint would be that I'd prefer to get the default context menu when right-clicking it. Or, perhaps you could change your context menu so that all of the default Windows 7 options are in there, but of course with Free Desktop Clock's context menu items added to it either on top or on the bottom.

I love being able to customize it using Settings.ini! Thank you for making that possible.

Here's something interesting. It may be a minor bug.

Do you see in the screenshot above I have the clock all the way to the right and the date is perfectly centered? Well, that changes when I enable the leading 0. The clock moves to the left and so the date ends up no longer being centered either.

Here are the settings I have to use with the leading zero enabled:

[clock]
left=10
top=0
width=0
offsetwidth=2
valign=middle

[day]
align=
xAfterTime=0
Format=dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy
cleft=88
top=-5
inmargin_left=-4


With it disabled

[clock]
left=17
top=0
width=0
offsetwidth=11
valign=middle

[day]
align=
xAfterTime=0
Format=dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy
cleft=83
top=-5
inmargin_left=-4


I noticed this when toggling the leading zero on and off and I thought that I should mention it. I compromised for now by leaving it enabled because it satisfies my OCD nature. :) Except, I'd rather have the leading 0 disabled without it moving and causing the date to need to be re-centered. It would be cool if it could remain flush against the Show Desktop button like that with the leading zero disabled because when it becomes 10, 11, and 12, it moves.

Hello,

I would like to introduce you to my new free program. ...
Interesting - does the display remain visible if the taskbar is hidden?
