kaoman Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 When you have tray icons hidden, and you click the arrow to have it expand, the clock reverts back to the regular clock temporarily. It does it again when the icons are hidden again. Besides that, custom skinning works fine for me and everything fits.

Illusion456 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Got framework 1.1 installed, but the clock doesn't work at all for me. Can see the process running but no change to the clock at all, have to close it by killing the process. Config works fine though lol :blink: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/151437-longhorn-style-system-tray-clock/page/3/#findComment-1905503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Post-It Note Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 (edited) Is it just me or does it flicker a lot? No backbuffering? And also when time changes, it hides it a bit. Perhaps FindWindowEx and hiding TrayClockWClass? And even spicier, loading the theme API's and drawing the tray so skins are not necessary.....

Thrawn Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 Is it just me or does it flicker a lot? No backbuffering? Yeah, It was double-buffered a while ago, but that version used a lot more memory. Should I re-compile a de-bugged, buffered, memory hog for those who want it?

y_notm Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 ~9MB isnt really a memory hog IMO. The ever so slight performance hit is an acceptable trade off for no flickering.

war Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Yes it is filickering every single sec. on the sec. So everytime the time changes. It is unusable. BTW does this work with Windows Classic Style? Tried that too and it does not fit. The hour is too big. And no classic skin. Also, can you add an option not to ask every time when you want to close it. cya, Will Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/151437-longhorn-style-system-tray-clock/page/3/#findComment-1908327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

yanman Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Thrawn, thank you for making the clock, it's great! I love it! One question though, is the gap that I have between the icons and the clock normal in size? Is there a way to reduce the gap?

RCube Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Well, for those that wants to test alpha ware. Here is a win32 version of the longhorn tray clock program. - No more needs for skins. - No need for .NET - But I have only ran it for a few mins on my computer so far... :p Oh yeah to exit: 4-clicks. And if the background of the clock mess up because you keep changing your theme every 5 seconds. Just exit and start again. LC.rar Bugs: - No shadow font support YET...so doesnt' work well with themes like: OpusOS, etc. - After program exit, orginal clock might not be drawn right. And tooltip might get extra info. Easy fix is just to start "Task Manager" or any program that puts an icon in the Tray. Orginal clock will update and everything will be normal again. P.S. Anybody know the font Longhorn clock uses? Right now I am using: Franklin Gothic Medium.

Looks like it have enough space to fit one icon + default gap.

I am sorry. :( I only posted here because it had been inactive for a while. I just wanted to help the future users find a clock that works well for them when they come to this thread form a search or something. And I gave credit to Thrawn in my program.

autodefe Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 This definitely has a lot of potential. Work with the interface and play with all the suggestions posted already and you'll have gold. Oh and it looks kinda funky with a thin taskbar.
