great plugin!


the only missing part of my desktop is a window manager... hope you're workin' on it.

keep up the great work Yuri, and the other dev-team members

Very good plugin ... but .... can you add syncronitation with a Internet Server?

Thanks in advance. Peni.

Yes this feature will be released in one of the next versions.

and user defined format will be nice...

Can you add a larger font for the clock itself, i couldn't get it as big as i wanted.

Another cool thing is capability for an analog clock display. Just an idea.

I haven't played much with it, but you can either make your own font skin for the clock, or just use any standard font - at any size you want. I was able to make mine pretty dang huge.

This clock is a very nice future, but when I power-off my computer and restart at a later moment, the clock doesn't fit correctly in the toolbar anymore. When I use time and date, the bottom of the date-line disappears.

After resetting the computer the clock appears correctly ???

What size icons are you using on your task bar? What size font or skin are you using for the clock? I've had no trouble with mine, but maybe I can at least help you (and Yuri) duplicate the problem if you can give some specifics.

Thanks for your fast reaction shapeshifter.

I am using small standard icons and a small, single line taskbar.
Fonts: Time: Verdana 8 point Bold
Date: Arial 8 point Bold
Skin: None

I see that there is an update to version 1.1 I will try this one out.

I had trouble getting any combination of 2 8 point bold fonts to fit, even on the new version. However, most combinations would fit if I reduced the size to 7 for both. If I made them both regular instead of bold, I could get one 7 point font and one 8 point font to fit. Also, Arial seems to have more space around the letters than some other fonts do, so I'd recommend using Tahoma or Verdana instead. Right now, I'm using Tahoma 8 point bold for the time font and Tahoma 7 point regular for the date, and it looks pretty good.

I have installed version 1.1.
Now I can use Verdana 9 point Bold for the time and Verdana 8 points Bold for the date. It looks very nice

I also changed the Button Hight marges from 6 to 8 points. It looks a little bit better now.

Any chance of having an analog clock as well?
