Best Free Tray Clock Replacement

Is there any tools that shows the full year calender like this http://www.ampsoft.net/utilities/Calendar.php ?

I set my format to ddd, mmm d, h:nn

However, I still like to have an actual calendar appear when I hover over the date/time. that is why I like QuickMonth Calendar.

You might also try "TopMost Clock." Lots of customization available and it is FREE. I have mine set to show an analog clock without seconds, sized to just over 1 inch diameter, with full digital read-out of time and date just below. All of this is in the lower right corner of my screen. The website is

I like Clocx referred to by Bob earlier. There are alarm and calendar features, the date can be shown on the clock face and the analogue display's transparency can be adjusted. http://clocx.zde.cz

Please check out Timekeeper:

Freeware, has been updated to work with Vista and has features most people need.

As Clive previously stated:

Today’s date & time can be displayed simultaneously if you:
• go to LC properties
• click on the Clock tab
• change “show” to Day of Month
• choose 12 hour time
• Apply

The hour is shown full size & minutes & date shown about half size.

Just for grins, I tried TClock Lite on Vista. Amazingly, it works. I don't think every function works, but the tray clock and synchronizer do.

I like AlfaClock Free V 1.90 using the ddd~ ~MMM ~dd ~yyyy %time~ format for full day, date and time display and it also has calendaring but not alarms, reminders and todo's. So I want to try LC with Clive's suggestions for date and time display. X'nBeep whilst not a taskbar clock looks good on the desktop too and with a soon to be 2.00 release will provide the calendaring to go with the clock and alarm functions.

Hi

I tried TClock Lite, but it does not seem to start when Windows starts up.

Is this normal?

Thanks

Dear gizmo, is there a software with an analog clock display on the desktop which is freeware? Thank you.

As TClock versions tested seemed good products then the TClock as suggested by Paul R certainly seems to be an improvement on those which must be pretty impressive. Although I didn't actually install and test it, if it lives up to its promises and works as well as the other versions it certainly seems a great product.
Beta Clock has very few functions and appearances that worked on my system (XP Pro SP2). It had only one visualisation alarms and wasn't impressive at all. Then when I just stopped it, it crashed Windows Explorer.
Thanks to the other guys also for their suggestions and comments.
Jim.

Beta Clock is very manageable and works fine with Vista. Don't you all think?

You list TClock, but don't list a new program built upon it:

T-Clock by Stoic Joker

Unlike TClock and TClockEx (which I currently use), this works in 32-bit & 64-bit versions of Windows.

Dear Gizmo,
In your review of LClock you said:

LClock doesn't allow a simultaneous time and date display. Ah, perfection is so elusive ;>)

I have discovered that you can get today’s date & time displayed simultaneously if you:
• go to LC properties
• click on the Clock tab
• change “show” to Day of Month
• choose 12 hour time
• Apply

You should now have hour shown full size & minutes & date shown about half size. I have italicized my date to differentiate it from the minutes.

Regards,
Clive

I like "TClock Lite" but it does not have a calendar. So I added "QuickMonth Calendar" which works quite well with "TClock Lite". Get "QuickMonth Calendar" here:

I tried LClock but prefer the combination of "TClock Lite" and "QuickMonth Calendar". If you use it this way, you will want to turn off the "Tooltip" option in TClock.
