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.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
