Registry hack needed: Full date in the tray clock
Daleus:
Darn that mouser and his fast fingers.
I second tclock.
Edvard:
Fair enough, T-Clock it is.
Stoic's got some DC credits flowing his way, methinks.

I would argue that BetaClock is better. I think it is more flexible, includes a flexible popup calendar, and has been updated recently more often. The website has been completely stripped down, but the program is the best. I'm ashamed to admit that I once spend several weeks looking for the best system tray clock utility, and I settled on Betaclock because it was perfect.
Edvard:
Thanks for the suggestion Super, I'll check that out as well, though my original intent was that I needed to see the full date without constantly hovering my systray notification area or installing yet another thingamabob cluttering my desktop.

The calendar pops up on a mouse-click (one or two-click depending on how you set it up). You can do really fancy things with the display. I wanted to be able to see seconds, hours, minutes, full date, weekday name.
By the way, see the way I have the time in green and slightly different font? That's a little trick that most people wouldn't be able to do from first glance! :Thmbsup:
FYI, when I single-click on the clock, this calendar pops-up (if I double-click, I open up the settings dialog):
