10-Foot HUD Desktop/Sidebar gadget

[Conrad11]

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?

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.

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?

I have updated this and reduced the size.

Use the same download link!

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

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.

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

Yeah I noticed that today aswell. Will change shortly.

 

[Conrad11]

is this just for rainmeter

No the point is that this doesn't use rainmeter it uses inbuilt Vista and Windows 7 functionality.

Updated!

Use same download link.

I have fixed the AM/PM issue.

 

[Conrad11]

Yeah, when I edited it to sort the fix I kinda mucked it up a bit.

Will sort that out soon...sorry.

EDIT: Sorted! - same download link

May add some options to change things later.
