Can you replace it with a .swf clock? That would be cool if you could use the Longhorn slate clock (.swf version by Windows X, you'll need permission if you use it).

How about patching the Taskbar and Start Menu control panel applet? The icon is only 32x32 not 48x48 and is pixelated.

Abut the clock: Please, PM me with the more info you can about this. Also I dont like too much the longhorn clock..but anyway, we will se what I can do.

About the Taskbar and Startmenu icom: tell Microsoft :p , ok i will try, but it will be hard cuz it doesnt implies a modification, but a redesign.

OK. Thanks. I'll PM you later as I have to go out.

I made a mockup in paint of slate and another .swf clock. Personally I prefer the XP flag version, I think it looks good and I prefer it to the current clock. Obviously the clocks are at the incorrect as the screenshots were taken at different times.

While those are nice looking, the idea is impossible to implement. The clock hands and dotted border are not images in timedate.cpl. it is a custom control in a dialog. You would either have to be one hell of a hex editor or know how to rewrite the file to get the clock hands like that. The only real solution that can be achieved is putting the clock behind the control like XPero did in his original screenshot.

This is not possible at this time because the installor patch files and does't replace them. I do recomend that you wait a little bit before making you cd because xpize 3 will be coming out very soon

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Windows 11 gets better widgets, new Screen Tint feature, and more in the latest build

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
