Here's mine after the install, and like him, It seems that it's the same version.

PS: and the file size of LClock I extract was 144219.

That is 1.22a.

I am sorry, I knew it might cause some confusion to some users. But the change in 1.22a is very minimal.

- When in 24hour mode, AM/PM changes to Day of the Week: SU/MO/TU/WE/TH/FR/SA

I got lazy here and is just using "12 Hour time" to toggle between AM/PM and Day of the week.

So when you check 12 hour time, you get AM/PM. If you uncheck 12 hour time, you get Day of the week.

And "Show AM/PM" is changed to "Show AM/PM or Day of the Week".

I should have changed the interface to make it clear. I'll do that in the next version.

- Horizontal offset for AM/PM.

Check position tab in LClock control panel tool.

1. Setting the time in LClock control panel tool.

- Thats what "Date and Time Properties" is for. Double click will give you that.

2. Using rainlendar's events.

- Rainlender already notify the user. Whats the point having two popups at the sametime?

3. Having alarm function in LClock.

- I have thought about this. And my orginal plan was to have a popup mini calender when you move the mouse over the clock. And from the popup you can set events. Some people liked the idea, others thought LClock should be kept as is.

hi RCube,

maybe I did not make my point clear :(

in my concept:

1. setting the date/time in the LClock/Reminders panel:

of course, this is date and time set for the reminder (when the reminder shall be activated)

(and not for setting the system date/time - I am not _so_ dumb :) )

2. Rainlender is good for its users. I agree that 2 popups are unnecessary.

My idea is that LClock should offer this reminder feature because several users (including myself) do not use Rainlender or other cal apps. Rainlender users shall simply ignore this feature in LClock :)

3. Good to know that you think about including notification feature in LClock. I think either way (your original or simpler suggestions like mine) it could be very useful and warmly welcome :)

Here is an updated shot of the reminder panel.

I modified the text... I hope it is now clear that the settings are for the reminders, and not for the system:

It would be excellent if this had popup reminders, it would be even better if they could be read from rainlendar. It would mean that there would be one less application running on my machine.

So anyone know how to fix Error #3 ? :(

Checking ? How ? :unsure: Uninstalling ?

- Check for ObjectBar before starting LClock.

LClock checks for ObjectBar before starting. And will not run if ObjectBar is found.

LClock will not work if you are not using the standard WinXP taskbar.

Error 3 means LClock cannot find the default windows tray clock. So most likely your taskbar has been modified or replaced by some other program.

I believe that's what you needed to know. So if you have something that's modified your system tray -like OB- then you might want to check on that. ;)

Thanks for the heads up, Would just applying a visual style cause this?

Never mind :blush:

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
