Change the Windows System Tray Clock

The default clock that is shown on every Windows operating system in the lower left corner was always a thorn in my eyes. It displayed the time but the current date was always a click away. I always wanted to change this and customize the way the clock was displayed in the system tray leaving the boundaries of the Microsoft clock.

Tclock 2 is a freeware that offers a simple way to customize the system tray clock the way you want. The main feature is the ability to select the exact format of the data and time in the system tray by either choosing a locale like English (United States) or using a fully customized form like hh:nn:ss mm/dd/yy for it.

It is furthermore possible to use AM/PM, 12H instead of 24H and write the months and days instead of using digits for them. That is however not all that can be achieved. You are free to select the font, the font size, the position and height plus width of the clock.

Still not convinced ? The software does not need to be installed and can be run from any location. It adds functions to synchronize the clock with Internet servers, alarm functions, a calendar and ways to customize the taskbar and start button as well.

This is really a nice software that I’m going to use from now on.

   I use Alpha Clock. The free edition was so good, I paid for the upgrade!
