Vista Time.

[danielmp007]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but wasnt sure whether it should be in GD, GH or Software.

How do I get the time in the top corner of the screen?

Saw it on one of my mates desktops and he wont show me how he got it.
Im guessing its an add-on to my desktop? Maybe a desktop.ini?

Any help is appreciated,

dP

Either a custom rainmaker config, a Vista sidebar gadget or sticking the taskbar up there.

Sound like one of Vista's gadgets. There are loads more here. http://vista.gallery.microsoft.com/vista/SideBar.aspx?mkt=en-gb

Its in the Windows and software thread, .. but if you cant be bothered looking

calm down, calm down.


Seeing as how thats my desktop you quoted, I can tell you whats what.

'Launcher' at the bottom is a rocketdock (see link below) I made the icons but theres plenty on deviant art (link below) the clock/calendar/sys info is rainmeter, I made the config. hud.vision and enigma are good ones for sys info and 10-ft hud good for just a clock and date.

Stacksdocklet is also a must imo if you have icons you want to group together.

rainmeter

hud.vision skin for rainmeter

engima skin for rainmeter

10-Foot HUD



rainlendar

vertical skin for rainlendar



rocketdock

objectdock

Stacksdocklet for both rocketdock and objectdock

some sweet dock icons

TY, I do only want the date and time and I do have rainmeter and 10-foot HUD but I cant seem to get it looking like yours?

You just need to install Rainmeter and then extract the 10-foot-HUD folder into the Rainmeter/skins directory.

It confused me that the rainmeter link went to a rainlendar page.

rainmeter is here http://code.google.com/p/rainmeter/

Then put the 10 foot hud folder in the skins directory.

Not sure if 3rd party is necessary. Shouldn't you just enable the Windows Sidebar applet, enable the clock, and chuck it up there?
