10-Foot HUD Desktop/Sidebar gadget

Conrad11 · 4 Mar 2010 at 14:17

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??

Everytime you restart windows the clock is always miles from the side of the screen cos of the buttons, see?

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

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

If you hold shift whilst you drag it you can move it into the exact position you want....but I didn't realise that the position resets when you restart your computer.

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.

Not quite sure what you mean. Any screeny?

I have updated this and reduced the size.

Use the same download link!

sorn21 · 12 Mar 2010 at 02:27

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

Thanks!

I'm confused it's just a clock?

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

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

Someone actually made this a gadget which can be configured, sort of, it lets you change the font

. Sadly it's huge (least twice the size of yours), buggy (far left digits can vanish/be cut off) and has to snap to grid

Yeah, I liked the way it looked from the begining, the massive space was the only issue.

Very nice thanks

Azuse05 · 12 Mar 2010 at 12:46

Oh dear. Mines reading 12:45 AM, not pm like it should be

dbmzk1 · 12 Mar 2010 at 14:25

I kinda wish it was 24 hour actually! And if it didn't have the | after the day.
