Will put the date in the system tray???? I don't understand... mine is listing the time, the day, and the date in dd/mm/yyyy format..... what exactly is it you're looking for?

EDIT... wait.. I got it... my taskbar is dragged double high... thats why it shows it and yours doesn't.... no additional program needed.

Send a message via AIM to Panama Red
I just move the cursor over the time and a pop up shows the day and date.

I have a double high taskbar which allows the date to show.

TClockEX works on XP.

http://www.rcis.co.za/dale/tclockex/index.htm

TClockEx works on Windows XP more or less the same as on Windows 2000 and Windows NT. The same restrictions apply to CPU and memory monitoring. If you use the classic (Windows 95) desktop theme, there is little or no difference.

If you use a desktop theme other than Classic, TClockEx's display is not so nice because it does not have a transparency option that would allow the colour scheme of the desktop theme to show through. There is a technical reason for this limitation. I hope one day to be able to work around it. However TClockEx does actually work correctly, except for the display issue. Depending on the theme you choose, you may not even notice the difference.

Did you know if you make the Windows XP task bar double-height, the standard clock panel also shows the date? This is at least an improvement on earlier versions of Windows, but still no customisation. There is still life for TClockEx yet!
