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.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
