Date in taskbar

[Guest]

Is there anyway to show the present date in the taskbar, next to the current
time, or anywhere else that might be practical?

Thanks

Here's a discussion of just that:

or if that link breaks,

Hope this helps,

Here are two ways:

1. Make the task bar two or more lines high.

2. Use one of the freeware/shareware taskbar enhancement programs. I
personally like TCLOCK (not be confused with the similar--but inferior, in
my view--tclockex).

There seems to be at least two programs out there called TClock -
which one do you mean?

Is that Oz as in Australia? If so, hello from another aussie.

I use TClockEx and I like it. The web address given in the "About" for
TClockEx is http://users.iafrica.com/d/da/dalen. I can't get this address
to respond, but the program I downloaded works quite well.

Another way to see the time is to hold the mouse over the time and the date
appears.

Tclockex isn't a bad program. I used to use and like it too. But if you've
never tried TClock, I recommend that you give it a try. I think it's
significantly better.

Yeah. Wonderful, isn't it !
And I used to frequent Cronulla and Maroubra beaches as a youth.

We thought when it happened in France that we aussies wouldn't descend to
that level, but I suppose we are kidding ourselves, especially of we think
we really are a multi-cultural nation.

Here in Canberra , we don't *seem* to have problems, perhaps because of the
presence of diplomats. Although in a city of 300,000 we don't see all that
many.

Make the taskbar bigger, or use a third-party utility.

If you don't need the date constantly on view, you can do what I do:
just hold the mouse over the time and the date will show as a popup.

Yes - sure is - hi to you too

Yes - I have used TClockEx for ages and find it very good but I wanted
to see why Ken thought TClock was better.

You're welcome. Glad to help.

Give it a try and let us know what you think.

G'Day Ken - I tried it out and it is similar to TClockEx but I think I
will stick with what I have - I am used to it now and find it very
good.

The "Help" for TClock only seems to be available while on line and is
not yet up to scratch - a lot of items contain only "Under
construction". With TClockEx I do not have to be on line to get help -
it is on my HD.

There is one thing that I use a lot that TClockEx has that I can't
find in TClock - I can click on it in the systray and get a calendar
for the month pop up - and I can cycle through the months and years on
this calendar.

OK, that's fine. We don't all have to prefer the same things.Thanks for
trying it.

I find it intuitive enough that I hardly ever need help,.

Right-clock on the clock and choose Calendar.

Did that - no calendar option there - are we talking about the same
program - the one by Kazuto Sato?? (as shown in "About" option)

Sorry, I had forgotten that I'm running a newer version, called TClock2.

Neat program, I like it.

TCLOCK2 - freeware, and can make the area behind the clock/date text
transparent, so you theme stuff shows through!
