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.

It does have a tray icon! and when you hover over it it does show the text!

I've had a look in that file... nothing really worth getting excited about :wacko:

any other ideas/suggestions?

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.

    • Just merge it with Instagram already... Meta having two platforms with overlap was a bad business decision.
    • Aw look at all the typical Elon crybabies already filing in here to whine... You people are too busy promoting hatred and violence to realize that this better technology is going to be great for lowing ride costs across the industry. Perhaps the article should focus on why Waymo didn't innovate enough and is about to be in a world of pain. The cars are expensive to build and therefore the rides are expensive. The technology also isn't as good as it should be and is too conservative. Do they still avoid highway routes in some cities? Robotaxi is going to come along with it's cheap vehicles and low fares and Uber, Lyft, and Waymo are going to be screwed. https://futurism.com/the-byte/waymo-expensive-slower-taxis
    • Hello, thanks for the feedback   This was changed because Google now requires high quality images in these articles, otherwise they might not be promoted in Google Search/News/Discover and other places  (specific link to the policy https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/google-discover#:~:text=appearing in Discover) so we were kind of forced into it. Google keeps moving the goalposts and it affects us greatly as a site online for almost 25 years; one change in their Search algorithm can result in half of our traffic vanishing overnight (and this has happened in the past). I will reach out to Razvan so that he is aware of your request to feature software icons more prominently.
    • I'm tired of asking for this in the Windows 11 Insider feedback. It seems to me that Microsoft solemnly ignores insiders and their feedback or suggestions made to the system.
