Hmmm, sure there are some somewhat extreme feature requests like displaying full day name and the seconds...

Don't you think guys that displaying full day names would eat up precious screen space?

(to use triple high Taskbar just for this sounds a very awkward solution for me...)

On the seconds display, my personal opinion is that a continously counting seconds display is disctracting and kinda annoying but well, if one needs it bad...

And if it is suggestion time, here comes my one for today

(noticing that RCube focuses on the Reminder/Alarm feature these days):

What about recurring events?

Bills, family visits etc. repeating in every X days, weeks, months?

For a Reminder setting, I suggest an "Is it recurring?" checkbox and an optional subpart of controls where (ifChecked) users can set the repeating range, like

Remind me for this in every

- <weekDay_dropdown_list>

- <2-digit_serial_counter> day

- <1/2-digit_serial_counter> day of every <calendarUnit_dropdown_list>

Examples, respectively:

"Remind me for this in every Thursday"

"Remind me for this in every 11th day."

"Remind me for this in every 2nd day of every week."

"Remind me for this in every 23th day of every month."

Hope is it clear what I try to say...

:)

I don't know about seconds and displaying more info in the systray. That is really pushing into the TClock department. :p

And yes I am working on alarm/reminder right now...slowly... :p

But I already have a system that deals with recurring events in place...a copy of rainlendar.

So I have single, daily, weekly, monthly and annually. And they can be repeated as many times as needed with or without end date. And alarm/reminder have a time attached..so you get notified only when it is the right time.

BTW: LClock is listed in http://www.betanews.com now. :D

Good idea. I second that. For now, I use the Microsoft Plus! Alarm Clock for reminders. When Rcube deides to implement, I might go towards Lclock as my default Clock/reminder system. How about those alarm makes some sounds (customizable by the user) when they go off, because I have some sounds that say like "Your electricity bill is due today!" and "Rise and Shine, Good Morning Jason" (my wakeup alarm).

Oh and I thought I'd share my Lclock pack with you guys, since you have been sharing yours with me (Y).

Here is what Lclock looks like on my system: :)

lclockss.jpg

Information about settings and configuration files for BOTH the calender and the clock is in the zip file :D

Download

well i like it when i just quickly look at my tray without even so much as a mouse move or button click when im working dually on computer and paperwork and sometimes i forget the date.

pluss my tray has plenty of room provided the month/day/year font is individually configurable from the hour/min/am.pm

the seconds i think would be a good for a stopwatch feature for timing or benchmarking something either on the computer or not, maybe hotkey configuration where the stopwatch replaces the clock display altogether, or maybe a timed shutdown/restart that when activated the clock is replaced by the countdown with the time being displayed for 2-3 seconds every 30 or 60 sec during the countdown.

the reason i im making these suggestions for Lclock is because out of the available clock apps around Lclock seems to be programmed much much better and i think Rcube would be the one to make it happen and make it correct, seems to me to be the best programmed Clock out there.

again they are jsut suggestions its not like im holding a gun to anyones head :whistle:

:devil:

Hi RCube,

Nice program & nice to see that some old commands in lcmenu.txt are still working :D ;

"Run..." 401

---------------------------

"Cascade Windows" 403

"Tile Windows Horizontally" 404

"Tile Windows Vertically" 405

"Minimize All Windows" 415

---------------------------

Is it possible to get these commands working?

---------------------------

"Lock Computer" "C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe" user32.dll,LockWorkStation

"Standby" "C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe" powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState

"Reboot" "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" -r -t 00

"Shutdown" "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" -s -t 00

---------------------------

Yeah that is what I'd like to see in future versions. I have some ides I would add to my right click menu like my system cleanup batch and the shutdown files, Herby mentioned.

These system shutdown etc menu command requests are a bit strange.

A datim applet has less to do with it imho.

Why not put the same commands (as shortcuts) in your Start menu?

Btw the Start menu usually sports such buttons anyway...

Am I the only one who feels a slight breeze of redundancy here?

:)

u know i jsut had an idea, would it be possible, since u have calender support, to make a simple side bar? like nothign fancy just something that would have an analog clock, and well whatever u thought was good, lol. just a thought since this project has evolved so much since the begining...

Hi all,

Is it possible to get the day of the week to appear in the Bubble along with the date?

tia

Maybe you should check

- Start / Settings / Control Panel / Regional and Language Options applet:

- on Regional Options tab, click Customize button (Customize Regional Options dialog appears) then

- on Date tab, at Long Date Format, add dddd (4 lowercase d-s) in the string.

For example, to display Thursday, August 19, 2004 the Long date format string shall look as:

dddd, MMMM d, yyyy

Mix your own!

:)

wow. nice app... there should be a skinnin forum lol...

anyway very very nice work with the app. definally beautiful work.

heres mine since everyone likes to post theirs :p

dont laugh im not a good skinner and my buttons suck!

if anyone wants to know im using the segoe UI font that ms uses for longhorn.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
