TPClock - v1d - December 19, 2006
Bugfix after v1.
Description
The program is a substitute for Windows clock in the notification area (tray). Needs some training to use.
The colours are adjustable. Looks good also on XP view, and in Win9X. "Normal" time can be displayed in hint of TPClock.

(The thing between Thunderbird and ZoneAlarm, of course. Now the seconds are displayed on top so it's 17:21:54)

Arjen:
Is this a "binary clock" like this one?

Interesting - I suggest you include a training feature, in which you are presented with a random time in binary format and you have to say what time it is!

When I click "Info" I get the error message: "System Error. Code 1410. The class already exists."

TPReal:
Yeah, it's a binary clock but better in my oppinion because why the hell encode single digits? I don't like BCD encoding. And it's too easy to read the time when single digits are encoded :)

About the training feature - best training is using the TPClock (and turning off the normal windows clock, and the hint, or else you'll probably turn out to be too lazy to read the time from the leds).

I just checked that the most often used programmers' excuse works this time: on my computer, the error message does not show up :) But there's nothing interesting instead of it, just the message: Binary Clock by TPReal.

I just got around to trying this now.. love it  :-*
this is definitely the l33t tool to impress and mystify your friends.

ps.
i get same error when invoking about box.

ps2.
on start it shows an empty form on screen which has to be minimized in order for it to dissapear - would be nice to have this fixed so the program can be happily run at startup.

TPReal:
Wow, thanks for the kind words Jesse :-)

About the about box, I've investigated the case and come to a conclusion that the error message appears only when I compile the project so that it doesn't need C++Builder specific libraries. All functions like ShowMessage, InputQuery,... give this error. No idea why. Now I simply removed the Info item from the Menu, it wasn't very helpful.

As for the form visible when starting, on my machine it doesn't appear, no matter how I compile the project, but I corrected it (in a Left=-500;-like way but for me it works :) ).

(New version posted in the first post.)
