underscorebios Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Nice work on the clock, here's a little bug report on it: I notice when i have windows media player minimized to the taskbar when i expand the hidden icons in the tray media player doesn't return to it's original position. Here's a screenie. It should be right next to the tray. As soon as i quit lclock things are back to normal. Using lclock 1.51b on winnxp pro sp2.

DouglasLWarren Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I'm using lclock 1.51b on WinXP Home SP2 and media player returns back for me. Oh....I'm using Windows Media Player 9 Series version 9.00.00.3250.

Hekx Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Great work on the application. I've been using it for a week now with no problems. I can't wait for an update and future progressions with the project. Keep those desktop customisation screenies coming. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/157465-longhorn-systray-clock/page/26/#findComment-584435746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
underscorebios Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I got it pinned down to what it is, i'm also using lclock's ability to display a custom start button. It's when i activate this that the odd behaviour with media player in the taskbar occurs.

RCube Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 Ok people. I have implemented the basic reminder feature. It is still in testing stage. Not stable and not recommended for general use. But if you want to help me test LClock, please download it and give me feedbacks.

dkldkldkl Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 "Time: [00:00] Type: [Weekly] Every: [1]" What's "1"? shouldn't it be every Sunday/Monday/Tuesday...?

RCube Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 "Time: [00:00] Type: [Weekly] Every: [1]"What's "1"? shouldn't it be every Sunday/Monday/Tuesday...? It is the frequency to repeat. So when you have it on Weekly and 1, it means every week. When you have it on 2, it means every other week..and so on. To do something like alarm every Tuesday, you will need to use type "Daily" + every "7"th day.

Blackice Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 no, I don't really want to see the source (I could code something similar myself), but I remember seeing somewhere "THe source code will be available once someone asks for it", so I thought I'd be the first for something, and ask a meaningless question ;) I'll release the longhorn buttons if anyone wants them Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/157465-longhorn-systray-clock/page/26/#findComment-584451900 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacker Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 But if you want to help me test LClock, please download it and give me feedbacks.LClock 1.60 (Alpha; test only) Hi RCube, installed and it runs now. Looks smooth. Great work you do. Some minor notes: Day reminders balloon: - shape: could it be selected? I dislike rounded balloons :/ - display: how about different color and/or bold for the reminder times? - display: reminder time and reminder text could have more spacing between them? - display: how about a fancy design, say the times and the texts could have different background color? - display: and maybe some horizontal, colorable hairlines between the reminders? - exxtreme: some transparency settings for the balloon? :) We keep on testing, u keep on coding n rockin, mate... :) (Y) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/157465-longhorn-systray-clock/page/26/#findComment-584454374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 RCube, another thing: do you plan to design the Reminder notification window as suggested (by me, hehe) on pages 24 and 25? My mockups, you recall :) Currently the "Event" is a single alerter system window, placed in midscreen. Functional but I hope this is just a temporary alpha solution :) Suggestions/questions: (I presume you got them in mind already) 1. How about to be able to set expiry time interval for reminders? Either per each reminder or globally. Eg. user could set "delete this reminder after [n] daysweeks/months" or "delete reminders already passed after [n] days/weeks/months" 2. How about handling reminders, I mean manual deletion, snooze, move to another time/date? 3. Currently it is possible to set up a reminder for a date/time already passed. Maybe it would be wise to include some CurrentDateTimeCompare :) function and if the set time or date belongs to the past, there would be no reminder set, but a notification for the user appeared.

Stacker Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Ah and another question, RCubie: Imagine I set a reminder for tomorrow, 08:00 AM. But I sleep in and switch on my machine only at 9 AM. What will happen? (A) reminder immediately pops up? (B) nothing at all, the reminder will never pop up and remains unnoticed forEVER Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/157465-longhorn-systray-clock/page/26/#findComment-584455388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozgeek Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Nice Update! :D (Y) I have been designing and making around with calender and clock styles. Is is possible to have png or gif images for use as calender background. I am asking this because I would like round calender like this one attached. bmps does not support transparency so it would be grateful if gif or pngs are supported as backgrounds.

RCube Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 Extcee, that font should be hooge. dkldkldkl, no difference. Stacker, I didn't put too much reminder related settings in "LClock Properties" because I am going to do redo the whole config tool soon. But yeah, the balloon needs to be improved. I hope the current alarm popup is a temporary solution too. ;) expiry time interval, so you mean a fancy "delete" feature? snooze is planned. No idea when yet. moving a reminder to another date can be done right now..but I disabled it, because I think it might confuse some people with the current interface. I don't think setting reminder on past date is a big deal. People might do this to keep a record of what happend. Right now nothing will happen if you miss the alarm when your computer was off or LClock wasn't running. It will just go unnoticed. This might need to be improved/changed in the future. winxptwker I have been thinking about png for a while too. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/157465-longhorn-systray-clock/page/26/#findComment-584455567 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted August 30, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted August 30, 2004 I thought you could use "magic pink" to make parts of a bmp transparent. I thought windows automatically used the top left hand pixel to make transprency if you save the bmp in as 8bit.

Kleopatra Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Thanks for the very nice TrayClock. I'am from Germany and some German users wish that the preferences menus are also in German. I can help by translate the phrases, but there is no way to do that. How can I help by this?
