Thought some people might find this useful as it still shows when you "Show Desktop" and rainmeter doesn't IIRC.

....or for the people that don't want to use rainmeter.

Not configurable I'm afraid....quickly made it for my own config. If you hold shift whilst moving it around, you can move it into the exact position you want (rather than snap to grid)

Anyway you can edit so the close,drag gadget buttons are closer to the clock. Cos clock wont stay to the side of the screen cos of the buttons??

This is nice, really nice.

As stated the corner should be closer to the end of the line but apart from that I really like it.

Thanks for sharing :D

The reason I made it so wide was so that I could hide the close and settings buttons when my mouse hovered on the gadget. Will edit it to change it when I get some time.

Lol. My clock was going so far left it cut the first digit off. Just a little buggy :)

Not quite sure what you mean. Any screeny?

Downloaded the update, same looks, just ever so slightly more usable :D

Thanks!

Only change was the size of the gadget so that it will stay in position when attached to desktop.


I'm confused it's just a clock?

....It's more to look pretty than anything else. Desktop customization. It doesn't actually do anything.
