It all depends. If I implement skin then we won't need any of those. But if I see skin is a big resource hog, then I'll keep the calendar the way it is and add those features you just listed.

But My next task is alarm and events. :p

Hey, you know what you really need? An update tab where you click the update button and it'll check and see if you have the latest version or not and if you don't, automatically (by option) download and install the newer version.

Not sure how you do that, but I'm sure someone does. :yes:

Edit:What I meant by "by option" was that there could be an option to just tell you your's is old, or to automatically download it. Maybe have one to automatically check for updates too..

I don't mean to offend you in anyway, but I think you should use the calendar lay out Stacker made. He had the perfect style, maybe a little more spacings :p

Well, if I am the Stacker you are referring to, I made some reminder mockups, but hell, why not make a calendar revamp as well :)

Here they go together.

Upper is the calendar popup,

lower the reminder (just to rerun from my older post).

Notice the rearranged calendar month flipper arrows - I think it is way easier to flip fwd/back if they are closer. (an idea from the NeXTSTEP GUI scrollbar arrow layout).

These are just ideas and suggestions, not critics or offence.

hmm i dont have the Calendar/Reminder funktion :(

Hey, the Calendar function is implemented, just click on the LClock once to toggle display it.

The reminder function is not implemented yet, AFAIK.

(The images posted by me are just visual design proposals, not actual screen shots.)

Nice calender. Some suggestions for you rcube:

- The ability to right click the click for Properties so it can take me to the Lclock control panel without having to go to Windows's Control Panel.

- The ability to customzise the calender. Yes I know you are just developing it, but maybe after all you have developed to your liking.

- A zipped version of the installation files. I dislike installers and prefer zipped versions.

:)

Customization depends on skinning and is in focus by RCube as far as he told it before.

Until he implement an additional "LClock Settings" command in the trayclock context menu, here is a tip to avoid Control Panel invocation:

- open Control Panel

- drag the LClock icon with right mouse button to your desktop and release

- in the popup menu, click "Create shortcut here"

- switch on the Quick Launch toolbar on the Taskbar (if it is not on yet)

- drag (move) the created shortcut on the Quick Launch toolbar

Now you can click on this any time and presto! the LClock setting panel opens.

(an example of this solution can be observed in the images I posted earlier: the round orange clock icon in my Quick Launch is actually the shortcut for the LClock Control Panel applet.)

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
