Nice work on the clock, here's a little bug report on it:

I notice when i have windows media player minimized to the taskbar when i expand the hidden icons in the tray media player doesn't return to it's original position. Here's a screenie.

It should be right next to the tray.

As soon as i quit lclock things are back to normal.

Using lclock 1.51b on winnxp pro sp2.

"Time: [00:00] Type: [Weekly] Every: [1]"

What's "1"? shouldn't it be every Sunday/Monday/Tuesday...?

It is the frequency to repeat. So when you have it on Weekly and 1, it means every week. When you have it on 2, it means every other week..and so on.

To do something like alarm every Tuesday, you will need to use type "Daily" + every "7"th day.

no, I don't really want to see the source (I could code something similar myself), but I remember seeing somewhere "THe source code will be available once someone asks for it", so I thought I'd be the first for something, and ask a meaningless question ;)

I'll release the longhorn buttons if anyone wants them

But if you want to help me test LClock, please download it and give me feedbacks.

LClock 1.60 (Alpha; test only)

Hi RCube,

installed and it runs now. Looks smooth. Great work you do.

Some minor notes:

Day reminders balloon:

- shape: could it be selected? I dislike rounded balloons :/

- display: how about different color and/or bold for the reminder times?

- display: reminder time and reminder text could have more spacing between them?

- display: how about a fancy design, say the times and the texts could have different background color?

- display: and maybe some horizontal, colorable hairlines between the reminders?

- exxtreme: some transparency settings for the balloon? :)

We keep on testing, u keep on coding n rockin, mate... :) (Y)

RCube,

another thing: do you plan to design the Reminder notification window as suggested (by me, hehe) on pages 24 and 25? My mockups, you recall :)

Currently the "Event" is a single alerter system window, placed in midscreen.

Functional but I hope this is just a temporary alpha solution :)

Suggestions/questions:

(I presume you got them in mind already)

1.

How about to be able to set expiry time interval for reminders?

Either per each reminder or globally.

Eg. user could set

"delete this reminder after [n] daysweeks/months"

or

"delete reminders already passed after [n] days/weeks/months"

2.

How about handling reminders, I mean manual deletion, snooze, move to another time/date?

3.

Currently it is possible to set up a reminder for a date/time already passed.

Maybe it would be wise to include some CurrentDateTimeCompare :) function and if the set time or date belongs to the past, there would be no reminder set, but a notification for the user appeared.

Nice Update! :D (Y)

I have been designing and making around with calender and clock styles. Is is possible to have png or gif images for use as calender background. I am asking this because I would like round calender like this one attached. bmps does not support transparency so it would be grateful if gif or pngs are supported as backgrounds.

Extcee, that font should be hooge.

dkldkldkl, no difference.

Stacker, I didn't put too much reminder related settings in "LClock Properties" because I am going to do redo the whole config tool soon. But yeah, the balloon needs to be improved.

I hope the current alarm popup is a temporary solution too. ;)

expiry time interval, so you mean a fancy "delete" feature?

snooze is planned. No idea when yet.

moving a reminder to another date can be done right now..but I disabled it, because I think it might confuse some people with the current interface.

I don't think setting reminder on past date is a big deal. People might do this to keep a record of what happend.

Right now nothing will happen if you miss the alarm when your computer was off or LClock wasn't running. It will just go unnoticed. This might need to be improved/changed in the future.

I have been thinking about png for a while too. ;)

I thought you could use "magic pink" to make parts of a bmp transparent.

I thought windows automatically used the top left hand pixel to make transprency if you save the bmp in as 8bit.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • 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.
