Disappointed to see that this style of clock in the taskbar was removed from Longhorn/Vista many builds ago.

Maybe this to some makes this app kinda redundant now.

Shame as I really preferred this style of clock over the old traditional boring Windows taskbar clock and wish MS would reintroduce it.

I'm not sure if my post went though, so here's my latest skin for LClock. I hope you all enjoy it. :)

is lclock still being developed? I guess this goes far beyond the scope of what was intended but would it be possible to flip the system tray and start bar position. I've got hide the startbar on and use the clock as the start button. However my taskbar is at the top of the screen so the startbar comes down on the right hand side, which is just visually very annoying to me. I imagine moving the system tray to the left hand side might not be easy, but I thought it worth asking anyhow.

Ironically this clock style is no longer featured in Vista. However, I have it working in beta 2. The problem is that the configuration/properties dialog crashes it, so you have to edit the .ini manually. This kinda limits how much I can customize it since I don't know all the settings. I love LClock and I hope that it is updated one of these days!

I don't understand, the latest version says its distributed under "the terms of the GNU General Public License", but in the FAQ it says:

Q04. Where is the source code?

A04. When someone asks for it, and after I clean it up.

So I may I please have a copy of the source code?

If it's not really GPL, then that's fine - just call it freeware next time

Sorry I don't come here as often anymore. You should message me.

Anyways, the code is open. I have given the code to a few people that have asked for the code already.

If you just want it for learning or make a new program, then you can do whatever you want with the code. But if you want to modify it and still call it LClock, then I like to work with you. Not to take the credit, but just to have a good idea where it is going in case you stop one day. This way, I can either take over or help the next programmer out. LClock is a neowin community app afterall. It wouldn't be what it is today without the help of the users on neowin. thanx again guys! :)

A little update about myself. I'll be done with my last semester next week. Depending on my future schedule, I might(50/50) get back on LClock again. If I don't find a job I like or decide to go on a trip. :p

Hey all! Thanks for the great app... I love LClock.

My problem is I just installed the newest version. I used to have 1.61a. On this new version the font on the clock is not anti aliased and looks awful. I dunno what caused this... any tips? :( It looks so bad I can't use LClock anymore like this.

I have a question that's a bit different ...

How do U un-install this " LClock " from your system completely.??

I Un-Installed the desktop theme it came with, but I still get " LClock-StartUp's " showing.??

I've deleted the LClock folder & tried deleting RegKeys, but it's still loading in the StartUp.??

** How do I get rid of this program / Clock from showing up in my StartUp-List because it won't budge.?? - Anyone.?? :hmmm:

Is there an alternate version of this? It can be used on Vista RTM, but when you install it you can no longer use the aditional clocks feature when you click on it on the system tray cause its Calendar pops up, I tried disabling the calendar feature but still the Vista's aditional clocks wont show when I hover on it.

    • Dude get a clue, LTSC is Enterprise, not even legal for consumers, and ESU is not mainstream support cycle, just an extended security updates period.
    • Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.
