Quick idea - can you add the ability to create a reoccuring option... like Monday, Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri - at 7:30 - play ALARM.MP3.... also can you add a adjustable snoose???

Done! Added an option for events to happen regularly and the clock updates itself as such :p

hey thats awesome! I got it counting down until my B-day:) but umm, if you try to move an icon behind the counter (when its transparent on the desktop) the icon gets stuck. That may be something hard to fix, but I thought I'd let you know.

The CPU usage used to be really low, then I added milliseconds. Would anyone really miss it if I pulled them out again??

Latest version has the option of having just floating text, and no background.

I'll upload the source after this round of updates/fixes.

Well, if your like me and NEVER turn your computer off, you just need 4 varibles, VB, and a timer that tinks every one seconds.

Have a SEC, MIN, HR, DAY varibles and the tiemr control. Hell, here would eb the code.

Dim SEC, MN, HR, DAY as Integer

SEC = 0

MN = 0

HR = 0

DAY = 0

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

(on the timer set for 1000)

SEC = SEC + 1

If SEC >= 60 then

MN = MN + 1

SEC = 0

End if

If MN >= 60 then

HR = HR + 1

MN = 0

End if

If HR >= 24 then

DAY = DAY + 1

HR = 0

End if

If DAY >= 21 then

Label1.Caption = "PICK YOUR DAMN GIRLFRIEND UP!"

DAY = 0

End if

There ya go, its a hard coded 3 week count down. For the record, i use military time.

    • "Multiple administrations have taken a dim view of TikTok because they believe the Chinese government has access to user data." Uhhmmm... the orange faced baboon gave all our data to Musk... what's Elon going to do with it that the so-called, "feared" Chinese wouldn't? Personally, I'd hand my SS card over to Xi before I'd hand a glass of water to Musk who was dying of thirst. Why? Because Xi has never made it clear that he was a true threat to me... or any of us for that matter.

    • You can now customize the email actions toolbar in Outlook for Android and iOS by David Uzondu Microsoft has announced a new feature that will finally allow you to customize the action toolbar in Outlook for Android and iOS. For a long time, the main actions you could take on an email were stuck in a static position in the top-right corner. Deleting, archiving, or marking something as unread meant reaching your thumb all the way up there. Now, that entire bar has been moved to a, perhaps, much more sensible spot at the bottom of the screen. Here's how it works. When you open an email, you will see a new toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This bar holds several actions you can take, like Reply, Delete, and so on. Any commands that cannot fit are tucked away behind a "More options" button. To change the layout, you just tap that button. From there, you can tap More options (...) > Reorder, as shown in the following screenshot: Then, from there, you just drag and drop the actions you want onto the main bar. Once you set it, the layout stays the same across all your accounts. Now, it is not without its quirks. There are a couple of known issues, like the fact that your layout might change depending on your screen size or if you flip your phone horizontally. If your custom actions do not fit, they will get bumped to the overflow menu automatically. You will also see more grayed-out, disabled buttons than before. Microsoft says this is intentional so actions do not disappear from view entirely. This update is currently rolling out to anyone running at least Build 4.2522.0 on Android or Build 4.2522 on iOS.
