Registry hack needed: Full date in the tray clock

<< < (7/7)

Grorgy:
you can change a lot of those things by clicking next to the format string and it gives a drop down box with background text and so on.  should be able to change most of what you want there

I must be missing something, because I can't make the time font green and the date font yellow like superboyac did. It would be nice if it could be like on KDE where you can have different font sizes for time and date. I thought some kind of tag could be used on the time and date format string to represent the colors.

By the way, I used Betaclock at work on Windows XP and it worked fine, but it doesn't seem to work on my Vista x64 home machine. I'm using t-clock at home, but it doesn't seem to support different font/color for time and date either.

hehe, Dominus.  It's not as simple as you might think.  I needed help from the author of the program to see how to do that.  Let me explain:
In the setup screen, below where it says "General", there is a blue "+" button.  Use this button to add an additional clock.  Now you have two clocks and the font, color, etc. of each clock can be modified independently.  That's how it is done.

The font color not working with T-Clock/Vista is (usually) due to the transparency of the systemtray letting anything behind it bleed through. There were some other issues with the clock text being fuzzy with certain video cards, and the clock would stop updating periodically, but they both went away after SP1
