Winxp taskbar integrated clock utility ?

i know win 9.x, me, and 2k have tclockex. i built my first rig with win xp home, and now i find that tclockex does not integrate well with the winxp taskbar, if at all.

its too laborious to work through the color matching that never produces a suitbale match, just an annoying approximation - which sucks

tclockex is an awesome prog. small, low resource hit, gorgeous mods of both the clock and start button. is there anything that compares to it for winxp ?

i need to have the date next to me time cables news just spoils me. and with the weatherbug prog, i can have a temperature reading too.

StyleXP, and I think its called ThemeXP, they are both good...

A bit too bulky for me, but they are good programs..

As an aside, Weatherbug contains spyware - Gator if I remember correctly. Wetsock is spyware free and only costs $12.

thanks, but i don't like iether, mostly for the reason you allude to . .. they're bulky. compared to tclockex, themexp is a bloated white elephant that performs overkill well but doesn't
provide a simple and smoothly integrated clock utility.

the 'start' button mod and other perks provided by tclockex would be sweet, but not essential, for the ideal win xp prog i'm in search of.

thanks. i was aware of that through all the ads weatherbug splashed onto the screen

it was and will remian the only spy prog i've ever downloaded.
i'm looking for a new weather program too, but i don't need help there.

thank you for the reply. sorry for my late response.

say the clock v5.0 is a wonderful utility, and as about as close to tclock's seamless win9.x ntegration as we are going to find for the winxp os. thanks for the prog.
