new release, version .75:

Download Here

-It still depends on the .NET framework, but memory usage is around 1/3rd what it used to be.

-More importantly, the time will remain correct on resume from standby or hibernate.

Also, I'm sorry, the download link for Luna VX does not work for me... and making a skin is pretty easy.

The .NET Framework is found on Windows Update under "Reccomended Updates"

Woah, it looks like your tray has less space for the clock than most systems do... Neither my desktop or Tablet PC is like that, but if the issue is widespread, I'll have to modify the program to compensate. How does the old version work for you? You can get it here: OLD VERSION http://webdisk.berkeley.edu/~thrawn/LonghornClock.zip

Thanks for the screenshot, BTW

having the same problem with all versions.

nothing strange either, just reinstalled my windows so I have a clean newly updated system.

This is caused by the fact that your regional settings are not set to the default, English-US. You don't need to change the region, just one setting.

To correct do the following:

1. Open the control panel (Please use Category View), and hit "Date, Time, ... Options", then select "Change the format of Numbers, Dates, and Times"

2. Press the "Customize" button next to the drop-down that displays your language.

3. Under the "Time" tab, change "Time format" to "h:mm:ss tt" or "hh:mm:ss tt"

That'll fix it :)

odd, i did save the file in bmp... i am trying to do one for chosenos and tiskin... but no success? (actually, i haven't really spend time trying to do it, attempted once, no work... then i had too much other stuff to do... haha)

ok, just kidding... i figured it out. it's kinda stupid really... the extension bitmap has to be all lower cased. BMP will not work... bmp will.

Mmm thanks to whoever made that lunavx skin, although the skin is nice, it doesn't match the taskbar properly.

I have no problems with my taskbar. :huh:

If you using the double hight taskbar or a different screen resolution (I'm using 1024 x 768), you will have to make the skin to match.

I just made the skin for my use and thought I would post it here. ;)

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
