damn, i like the clock... it's gained it's own place on my desktop, but time for more suggestions :-)

- split 'remember position' and 'start with windows' in two options

- check if the clock or one of its associated windows stay inside the desktop bounday (try to change resolution of your screen, or move the clock to the top and hit the 'about' entry...)

you knew it, such a great thing will cause lots of requests :-)

And the compiled program (not so nice like netmaestros clock): http://sudokuprogram.googlepages.com/Fiatora.exe

Yep, that clock is as cool as it gets. It's on my desktop as well, people start asking me questions about Vista now....

Well done! I'm eager to learn about the techniques that you used to implement it.... :D
cheers,

your clock program found its way on the machines of a number of colleagues, people indeed like it!

oh, and a suggestion to make your clock even more popular: give it a screensaver mode (a large clock on a single black background), i bet people would love it!

(easiest way may be by renaming it to clock.scr, and let the code detect if it runs as an scr or an exe, you probably can check that using module info)

i have no screensaver now, but it would be your clock if it had this!
