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.

    • Switch to another OS if you're into tinfoil hat mentality, or just uninstall the app. Oh, wait, even after uninstalling it, can Microsoft still be looking at everything? We'll never know, so, yeah, that's that. If you use Windows, you need to live with those options.
    • Minecraft Chase the Skies update and Vibrant Visuals graphics overhaul lands next week by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The second major game update of the year for Minecraft is almost here. Mojang today announced that its next Game Drop, Chase the Skies, is landing on June 17. Alongside it, the highly anticipated graphics overhaul, dubbed Vibrant Visuals, will be available too, making the day a rather big occasion for Minecraft fans. The Chase the Skies update has a large number of gameplay features and content, but one of the biggest is the expansion of the Ghast. Now, players will be able to find Happy Ghasts as a tameable mob, letting up to five players ride them on journeys across the skies. To get one, players will have to find small, dehydrated Ghasts near fossil structures in the Nether, then bring it to the overworld and feed it plenty of water. It is also possible to craft dried Ghasts from Nether materials. Other features of this update include a handy player locator bar, better leads functionality, craftable saddles, a new music disc, and more. As for the Vibrant Visuals upgrade, Mojang is touting a visual refresh that lets players witness how lights and shadows affect the Minecraft world. "Fly high with your happy ghast to watch the sunrise reflect on the rippling ocean, make art with shifting shadows, descend into dark depths, or simply sit back and enjoy the vivid beauty of each biome," says the studio. "With updated in-game visuals you’ll see how light and shadow transform the Overworld – water reflects, forests become shaded, fog drifts, and waterfalls glimmer in the light." The currently supported devices for Vibrant Visuals include Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, as well as Android (Android: Adreno 640, Mali-G68, Mali-G77, or Xclipse 530 or higher) and iOS (A12 or M1 or higher.)   Unfortunately, the Vibrant Visuals upgrade will only be available on the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, at least for now. Mojang has said that it plans to bring the visual overhaul to the Java Edition of Minecraft at a later date, but no information or release window has been announced just yet.
