Clock Roll Over Text Inquiry

May 8, 2009 1:43:29 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hey all,

I was bored and decided to try out the free version of the object dock.  So far I'm liking it alot.

One thing I was wondering is whether or not it is possible for the clock roll over text to display the time rather than the date.  I already have the calendar to display the date (as well as the temperature forecast).  It's not a major issue, but would just be nice.  I did try to mess around with other clocks that others have made, but most require sysstats that I found causes object dock to crash (probably because the latest version is from 05 and vista post dates that).  So user made clocks are out of the question currently.

Anyway, if there is a way to have the text be the time instead of the date, that would be great.  Just let me know either way.

Thanks

I've got the full version and this can't be done.  Sorry, wish I could be more helpful and yea, that should be an option considering how small the clock is by default.  You can increase the size of the clock but all the other icons will be increased in size, if that helps.  Just right click and choose "Dock Settings" and then "Appearance"  You will see the sliders that will allow you to resize things, choose backgrounds and all that. 

Have fun!

I think the option to have the clock show time vs date on roll over has been brought up before.  Hopefully it will be included in an update. 

In the mean time I wonder if there is a work around for it.  Possibly like how we can change the background for the Weather flyouts.  Hmmmm.

Maybe that'll be a project I work on over the summer. Making a new mod of the clock feature that does what is wanted. It's not a difficult thing to produce, I just wasnt sure if it was already in the code (as it would seem a logical thing to have). But for now, its finals week so the clock is least of my worries
