Hello from beijing, china! :)

So 1.20a is out and comes with a control panel tool! It has fixes for none cleartype users too. But please uninstall old version and lclock.ini file before installing 1.20a. :) I won't beable to fix anything until I get back from china.

Jimmerz28, I don't have objectbar...but if it replaces your taskbar or modify it any way...then lclock will have a problem running.

I need more info. You guys that are having problems can PM me. Tell me what OS(winxp pro, winxp home, etc) you are using, if you use any programs that change the shell in any way...just give me as much info as you can and I'll try my best to fix your problem whenever I get access to a machine. :)

RodrigoResende, you are having problem running the installer or LClock control panel tool? Oh please give more info too, like the error msg, etc.

When TrayServer.exe of Stardock ObjectBar is running, TClock Light or LClock2 fails to start.

Kill TrayServer.exe using task manager, then you can start LClock2.

RCube,

TrayServer.exe makes a window that class name is "Shell_TrayWnd".

Change common/util.c.

HWND GetTaskbarWindow(void)

{

/* 2nd parameter: NULL -> "" */

return FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", "");

}

Sweet, thanx man! :)

I'll add the feature to detect "Shell_TrayWnd" when I get back from china.

This program is so nice. I love how there isn't any bloat. Who'd of thought to put a start menu on the clock? That's perfect for the minimalist, nice thinking!

Things to add:

  • all font horizontal offsets (my AM is 1 px to far to the left and I am using Cleartype with default LClock settings)
  • ability to configure from clock (right click) not just from Control Panel.

It's primary purpose is to make it look like Longhorn's clock but it can also remove the start button and or put the start menu where to clock is (click to the clock to get the start menu). Also, folks have been requesting that he add an alarm, etc. but I don't know if he's going to do that or not.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By NextGen_Gamer · Posted

      Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.

      Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about

      That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.

      Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
