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.

    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
