White-Tiger T-Clock Redux: Updated version of T-Clock

[John C.]

I like having the date down in the tray, so I like T-Clock. The original
version of the program is no longer being developed, but it was open
source so I looked around to see if anybody had taken it over.
Fortunately, this is the case:

https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock/
________________________________________________________________________
T-Clock Redux is an enhanced fork of Stoic Joker's T-Clock 2010
with ISO week number support, bug fixes and the ability to use Windows'
default calendar and tooltips.

T-Clock (called TClock), originally written by Kazubon in the early
90's, was a popular classic that was on the edge of extinction when
Windows started going 64bit. ... Stoic Joker simply chose not to let
that happen. And now it's up to us to continue their efforts.

Differences to Stoic Joker's T-Clock 2010 Build 95/98

+ supports Win10 with 1st-Anniversary update (v2.4.1)
+ Unicode support (v2.4.1)
* improved file structure
+ ISO-8601 week number support (Wi)
+ original Windows calendar and tooltip usable
+ support for clocks on every additional taskbar on Win8+
+ system/user dependent default colors
+ clock text angle freely adjustable
+ live update of clock text related changes (see what happens as you
change it and before you apply it)
+ clock text always automatically centered
+ right mouse click can be customized
+ mouse button 4 and 5 supported
* improved taskbar support such as horizontal vs vertical and size
+ calendar hides on 2nd click if opened before (autohide must be
enabled, Windows default behavior)
+ custom calendar can now show X past months, additional
improvements
+ extended right-click menu with more Windows like behavior
(hold down CTRL or SHIFT to get "Run ..." and "Exit Explorer" items)
+ simplified mouse click preferences page
+ default configuration with Windows like behavior and clock with
line-break on Vista+ (easier for first-time users)
+ more mouse commands / customization
+ overall improved settings dialog (so many changes.. can't name
them all)
* improved Stopwatch (hotkeys, export, stats)
* improved drag&drop support
! some bugfixes
* some minor and major rewrites and changes
! can be compiled with MinGW/GCC (allows more people to work on it
and also fixed bugs)
! fixed clock text transparency issues on Vista+
+ portable mode using .ini files as configuration storage (v2.4.0)
+ inbuild update checker (v2.4.0)
+ enhanced time format editor incl. realtime preview tbd
+ ability to use different timezones on modifiers tbd
+ LClock formating options such as different fonts and positions for
time and date tbd
+ working timezone identifiers tbd
+ multilingual version? tbd
+ resource usage % format option (CPU,RAM maybe GPU) tbd
+ improved time synchronization incl. autorun at startup (requires
admin rights for "install") tbd
+ mouseover customization, for example different time format, color,
border or even current weather tbd
+ switching clock text, eg. every 2 seconds another one tbd
+ multiple clock text presets? eg. switch between them on mouse
click tbd
+ maybe current sun state picture as clock background (plugin) tbd
+ improved hotkey support tbd

Requirements

Windows 2000+ (up to Windows 10 as of 2014)

As to showing the date in the clock tray, widen (make taller) the
horizontal Windows taskbar (I've not played with switching it to
vertical). That gives more room to show the time, day of week, and date
in the clock tray.

Example: I have 2 rows for the Windows taskbar. Top row is for
program icons (I don't pin anything to the taskbar, so they are icons
for /running/ programs). Bottom row is for multiple toolbars where
icons are grouped by similar function rather than having to drill
through the Start menu, or having to get windows out of the way or
minimize all to get at desktop icons although there is a Desktop
toolbar for quick access to desktop icons, but don't get messy with a
huge number of desktop icons. This gives more room for system tray
icons along with more room to show the clock tray. Some folks don't
want to lose the screen space with another row in the taskbar. For
them, they can auto-hide the taskbar, and not waste screen space on
even a 1-row taskbar.

If you work or contact across timezones, the inbuilt clock tray can show
up to 3 clocks in different timezones: one minimal clock, 2 more added.

Nope, it's not a portable program. It's inbuilt to Windows. Yes, the
3rd party clock has more options, but those are irrelevant if they are
unused fluff. Some of the features of T-Clock look to add calendering
functions. With Windows 10, clicking the clock tray pops up the
integrated interface to the pre-bundled UWP Calendar app.

All my clocks have built-in radio receivers for atomic clock broadcast
signals. Two are wall models, La Crosse, the first of which I had to
tear down for a reduced flat panel with direct access to the circuit
board's adjustment press-sensors;- besides wearing out and make-shift,
as it is, the year maxes-out in a decade which may throw off the
moon-phase settings, in case one isn't an astronomer. Something to
think about when I added their latest model, closest in approximation
to the older issue.

The rest are Waveceptors, Japanese wonders, my first cased in Thailand
and a recent addition cased in China. An earliest battery operated
version with radio receiver, along with subsequent models took some
time to build their reputation -- a daunting experience to initially
set the logic given for a given locale. Both subsequent upgrades are
self-charging solar models, or near to clockwork perpetuity.

Pure luck a few weeks ago to have acquired a military issue
Waveceptor, adaptable to all bands they're otherwise notorious for
proprietary, expensive manufacture bands. I put on a comfortable
slip-on metal Timex band and also adapted, glued a "smart-watch" 33mm
Grade-9 hardness face-plate to protect the crystal from scratches.

A $110 base Ebay price, I found it for $75, new, no telling how, after
about a week looking. The earlier model, with 20 years faultless use,
had fallen off the window sill, to roll unbeknown beneath a dresser.
The sheer interim trauma proved consequently unsustainable, even with
double copper wires threaded to secure a Timex watch band on that
model (only takes Casio proprietary bands), and even after resisting
the urge, instead rationalizing to settle on it, rather than
temptingly to periodically consider indulging by in large in a $150+
market on better base Waveceptors (a titanium cased model is $350).

The only problem to watch out for with Waveceptors, aside the
godforsaken nylon holes-&-pin-threading wrist-strap, (base factory
metal clasp bands are a flat, screw-you $50 in non-military issue), is
there's no way in hell to actually own one and consider running a
computer clock program that doesn't provide for a free government WEB
interface signal to access a priori its carbon-halflife decay
accuracy.

I'm still running StoicJoker's version on this computer, my W7 one. The
newer Github one is on my laptop, which I don't use except on trips, and
have no private stuff on. When it finally has a meltdown from all my
experimenting, I'll do a system recovery, wipe and reinstall.

But for now, White-Tiger is the cat's meow.

Licensing issues are minor. Seems the original author: "(Kazubon)
created TClock as a teaching tool to show people how to code for the
then new Windows 95 shell. So given that the original author intended it
to be for everyone to use and learn from...(to my way of thinking)...I
would be in extremely poor taste for me to impose any sort of
licensing/restrictions on T-Clock's code. I have merely been the
projects caretaker for the last decade or so. It is to belong to everyone.

I've never actually used Github or any of the other source management
systems but if it makes it easier for you to manage your branch of the
project... *Shrug* ...is ok by me"

This is useful information, particularly for those of us who randomly shift
our 'system' timezone, which is one step in the fight against
fingerprinters... as we need a consistent clock _independent_ of the system
timezone.

Please see also these elements in the permanent dejagoogle Usenet record:

3. T-clock simply replaces the taskbar clock (same system timezone choice).

If desired, we can modify the taskbar system clock display using freeware:

which also has "line spacing" options that dsclock freeware doesn't offer.

Well, that's all outside the scope of what I do, but DS Clock looks
interesting:

Please _improve_ on what I expanded upon below so all benefit every time!

While I love this ng for the value of helping decrease the high cost of
freeware, one way folks could decrease the high cost of freeware is simply
to provide URLs to the suggested best-in-class freeware...

To that end, I looked it up, where this "appears" to be the canonical site:
o <http://www.saythetime.com/>
But, unfortunately, it appears to be trialware.

Googling further, the next hit was "Say the time", but it was for Android:
o Say the Time - Talking Clock, by Provenio Software
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.proveniosoftware.saythetime>

Heading off to their web site for clues as to a Windows download...
o <http://www.proveniosoftware.com/>
Drat. It simply loops back to the first hit of trialware:
o <http://www.saythetime.com/>

There were lots of say-the-time hits (e.g., softpedia), most that I found
in this quick search of the best freeware looped back to that trialware.

The only promising hits, which I haven't tested as I'm wishing first to
clarify if the prevneio trialware is the stuff recommended above, was:
o Windows Trick: How To Make Your Computer To Speak Out Time At Every Hour
<https://www.nextofwindows.com/windows-trick-how-to-make-your-computer-to-speak-out-time-at-every-hour>

Dim speaks, speech
speaks = "It is " & hour(time) & " O'clock"
Set speech = CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
speech.Speak speaks

(2) Doubleclick on that "time.vbs" file, which should speak the time
(mine spoke it only within the hour, e.g., 8:15 was spoken as 8:00)

(3) Add that vbs script to the task scheduler to speak the time hourly:
Win+R > taskschd.msc

If you need finer intervals than hourly, I found this talking clock:

Which is some kind of "Windows gadget" which I'm unfamiliar with.

To help me, and others, can someone who has used "Windows gadgets" tell us
what inherently to look out for as I've never installed a Windows gadget
before (and hence I don't even really know what it is).

To that end, see also:

<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/Nv8cJ229qeI>

Basically, it seems there's a free VBS script that can speak the time at
scheduled hourly intervals, and, a freeware "Windows gadget"; but I wasn't
able (yet) to find a freeware "app" or "executable" that spoke the time.

I agree. It's a major improvement over W7's. However, I was unable to
find a way for it to display the day of the week (Mon. Tues. Wed. etc.)

I haven't dabbled around with it yet. Personally, my favorite calculator

It's nice, but it doesn't seem to have a street view yet like Google Maps.

There's a feedback option. I have used it on other apps.

You seem to be able to use it as a SATNAV if you ask it for directions
and hit the go button. I don't know quite what to make of that yet. I
guess it could be quite good on a tablet.

Yeah, I've used that with other apps before. Anyway, here's a picture of

Yes, I know about that mouse-over capability (it works in W7 too), but I
often want to know what day it is (I'm retired) from across the room
when I'm not at the keyboard. Also, I prefer black, bolded text on a
light background. But that's just me, YMMV.

We had a really serious, directly overhead lightning storm the day
before yesterday and my two year old 55" LG 4K TV got zapped and won't
run now. I had it on a surge protector too. I've been using it as an
alternative monitor for this computer. Spent all day dealing with
getting the TV's replacement set up. However, today I'll get out the
laptop and check something. IIRC, there's a keystroke combination that
can be used to open the W10 calendar instead of White-Tiger's one, which

One of your HDs is running a bit hot.
Don't sit on it.

Dunno, I use Rainlendar Lite for most of my needs cos it's always there
on the desktop and occasionally I use Outlook.

Update
o <https://i.postimg.cc/hGrL20ZK/dsclock04.jpg>

Due to a BSOD randomly causing the machine to need to be reimaged
o Windows 10 BSOD indicates a hardware problem - but what hardware is the problem?
<https://alt.comp.os.windows-10.narkive.com/oL7PTNKu/windows-10-bsod-indicates-a-hardware-problem-but-what-hardware-is-the-problem>

I'm yet again setting up a new system & forever honing the tutorials,
where I just got to the point of setting up a separate user clock
(which is completely divorced from the default System Clock).

o <https://i.postimg.cc/sD6sDsgw/dsclock02.jpg>
o <https://i.postimg.cc/RVsHGmnG/dsclock.jpg>
etc.

Regarding:
o Does a clock app exist that has ClocX functionality, but digital output?
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/hb7rIwIL6SI>

And the problem set:
o What is WINDOWS free Clock completely separate from actual system time zone
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/whXIfS6Xsfg>

I found an even better place to put DSClock digital output!
o Syntax = dddMMMdd|#085 (i.e., SatAug29|7:19 AM)

Using these fonts and background colors to match the taskbar:

o Do you know the font Windows 10 uses for the default Date & Time display?
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/LmfYs2a4o0Q>

o Font = Segoe UI Semibold 9 pt
o Background = R=35, G=57, B=66

And placing the clock over the regular time/date display:
o How to remove the useless Windows 10 "Notifications" balloon taking up valuable taskbar space
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/kzz-E0VymmU>

Note I already removed both Cortana & Action Center taskbar icons.
o The goal is an efficient clean well-organized Windows 10 system.
