ping REM: Date In Tray

[burnr]

New 2 me and remembering your what-day-is-it impairment I saw this
listed at Sofotex,
[q]DateInTray is a freeware program that displays the day of the month next
to the clock in the system tray. It is not fancy, but it does the job.
Once a minute it will check the date to see if a new day has dawned, and
will change the displayed date accordingly.
Use it as a simple day-of-month indicator on the tray bar without bells and
whistles and nag screens. It is a simple.[/q]

I've installed it this morning and so far so good.(Won't know 'til tomorrow
if it works lol) Does nothing but show the date in the tray.

Thanks! Rod suggested a nice looking program, but it never formatted
right for me. The text, how much or how little I chose to display,
wanted to run off the right side of the field.

I'll give this a try tomorrow, no, wait, I'll try it yesterday! No, I
better grab it now! <G> I feel destined to break back into the
spacebar time continuum...

Can you remind me which program I suggested ?

No, I'm struggling with the date <G>. You were listening to Zappa
though and I said "Get Back!" and you said "Will Do," I think.

The program burnr found is pretty good!

Ah, google is amazing, almost impossibly so...

Ah, OK, TClockEx. Can't believe I asked that question as I'm still using
it.
No problems with the formatting her on win98SE, but you're already set with
burnr's suggestion anyway.
BTW thank you for reminding me I still have to relocate that freeware mp3-
to-sig proggie I used to have. (anyone ?)

No, that's just a simple sig.txt. I used to have a program that monitores
what mp3 I'm playing, and writing this to a text-file, updating it on the
next song.
New HD: program gone, can't find it and don't remember it's name.

I prefer Kana Reminder 2 for this:
http://www.kana.homeip.net/index.php?doc=reminder&page=features
http://www.kana.homeip.net/downld/Reminder-2.0.0.115.zip

You need to modify the ini file to have it display the date. It works
great for reminders too - I've been using it for a couple of years. I
have mine configured to display the date in blue if I have no reminders
for the current day and red if there are reminders.

Excellent! I didn't know that. I've tried it before and thought it was a
good reminder app. Thanks for the info.

I switched to Effective Desktop because I found it to be the best app
for managing sys tray icons.
And it gives me nice flat res bars.
And customises the start button... no text, small smiley face.
Then I noticed the clock and date modules. The clock is a tiny analog
beast that sits next to the sys tray, the date is a simple number
sitting next to it. If you click on the date number a two month simple
calendar pops up.
So I dumped the Windoze systray clock and now can tell the time at a
glance. I find 'nearly 5 to 10 to be so much easier to visualise than
working out what 21.53 means.
Oh, and it does multiple desktops too, not that I've investigated this
yet.
Wonderful app; totally stable. (I've had stability issues with all
flavours of TClock I've tried.)

Nice, I haven't heard of this one either. I've snagged and will check it
out here in a bit. oh oh..

Or any preferred icon for startbutton (replace its text "Start" as well as
that embarrassing Win flag thing). Below is using one of the prepackaged
icons shipped with Effective Desktop:

For text, anything one wants. At the time of taking this clip, it must
have been part of my self-improvement resolution to start remembering
what the current year is (next stage, if advance to that, will be able
to name which US pres currently in office).

Those clips are from when I was taking a look at it a few months ago.
I haven't at this time adapted it into my lifestyle. That's where things
are a matter not only of finding the coolest tools -- but then working
in changes to working environment and habits at the right pace. From
first impressions though, it looked pretty neat.

Ah; I'd not spotted the OS requirements. 98SE here.

Be a devil and see if it works...

Wow, a vertical toolbar, haven't seen one of those in years
I used Effective Desktop to hide tray-icons, in which it is superb and
stable (unlike some others for me). I didn't even notice the clock feature
than, but if it's like the other features it must be great. This is a realy
nice program.

I can usually manage this by myself...

Wow, a vertical toolbar, haven't seen one of those in years

I've been discriminated against several times because of it...

First time it became a problem was during the year I was assessing Opera.
Around v3.6 or so, I think. The thing refused to accept that some of us
kept our taskbar vertical, and would slap its big body completely on top of
my poor taskbar as punishment.

Then I have the ongoing problem with one of my primary financial services.
I'd had an account with Datek for years, whom I liked fine, but then they
got eaten by krappo Ameritrade. I have no access to Ameritrade's website
menus unless I move my taskbar down horizontal when using their site. It
annoys me to no end.

Even then, that site just barely functions. The only interesting thing
with them, is that their site is -extremely- problematic when I try to
work through it using an msie-based browser. And that the one working
solution I've found with them is K-meleon (presumably any Moz, but it's
Kmeleon I use with them). Basically it's a straight reverse of the
complaints other folks have with their financial services. Those that
instead function properly only with the MSIE-based browsers...
