RCube, this update is great, let me annoy you with some extra suggestions

(people always ask for more :) ) :

- calendar panel transparency setting (?slider ?counter)

- calendar panel background color setting

- calendar CurrentDay highlight color and shape (oval, rectangle, circle, ring) selection

- calendar font setting (can be messy, restrictions may apply)

- week begins with Sunday/Monday choice option

Anyway, u rule, man...

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.)

    • 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.
    • do these change.org petitions ever do anything besides give people a place to complain?
