I'm sort of confused as to why we have a clock icon, when it displays the date ... exactly as the calendar icon does.
Is it possible for it to become a live version and update every minute with the time, not the date?

Another annoyance I'm having is that a few of the programs I try to pin to the dock, do not work as intended (as they work from the regular Windows taskbar). The one that I use the most with the taskbar is called "puush" which is a screenshot capturing program. Its intended use is to right click the icon, and it brings up several functions to capture the entire screen, a selected portion, etc. If I had this icon to the dock, none of those options are on the right click, and left clicking does absolutely nothing ...
I've also tried adding this to the tabbed dock, but nothing is different. I've now been forced to use the hotkeys.

Something else I've noticed when I have docks. In the picture below, I have the left dock (hidden) and the bottom right dock always visible, while the tab dock is up to the top right. Now here's my problem ... in the screen below you can see the two "bluish" lines alone the left and bottom sides of the screen. These go away if I remove those docks, so the docks are in fact creating these. Is there any fix for this, or is this not a known issue? (its a little hard to notice the very thin blue/white lines, so take a good glance.

Now to end with, is the most irritating to me ... With Windows taskbar, if you have it auto-hidden and get a notification, it will unhide. This is very convenient when using Skype as a messenger (my example and problem). Secondly to this issue, why do none of the icons on the dock flash as if they have a notification? It only notifies me that they are indeed running (with the option to toggle off the small icon). I'd like to have the icon flash or glow when a notification is there.
