Nice piece of work. I have some suggestions to the design :D

- A skin manager (hee~)

- A selection rectangle (or whatever) to show which date you're selected in the Calendar. Now it just has a rectangle showing which day is today, doesn't show which day you've clicked on

- Different double-clicking trigger. Somehow I clicked on two different days fast and the Event dialog pops up. I suppose that's the respond to the double-click trigger.

- Add an option so the Calendar will fade away when it's not on focus.

- Make the Calendar movable (dragable)

I look forward to further release. Keep this great work going~

Here we have a basic Longhorn-style tray clock.

Version 0.5 ---> New Release! Version .75 , see later post. Download links are updated

LonghornClock, download here

Important Points!!:

**Run clockConfig.exe to select a skin, before you run LonghornClock

**Right-click the clock to make it disappear for 3 seconds, so you can access the real system clock and any of its functions.

**Double-click the clock to make it exit.

There are a few more points in Release Notes.txt in the zip file. Please look at that before you ask any questions.

It's using VB.NET as I couldn't get ClearType with VB6. As a result, it's a memory hog but leak-free and easy on the processor.

VERSION .75 had an integer overflow, how stupid of me. Now .751

Questions? Comments? Feature-Requests? Bugs? This is meant to be really basic. I don't really like the windows API...

    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
    • I have been using Firefox for years.
    • I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
