Comment: suggested compact system tray format

[pol098]

A suggestion, not an issue. I use T-Clock to replace the Windows clock in the system tray with a version giving more information in the same space. I use two lines, one above the other to fit something like the following, with time to the second (useful for sniping auctions), in the place where the Windows clock was: 16:05:22 Sun 25Dec (in d/m format, can use m/d if preferred. Can display time in 12-hour clock instead of 24-, in which case I'd suggest omitting the am/pm indicator because I always know that!)

To get this I enter in Advanced clock format: HH:nn:ss\nddd dmmm

Alternatively HH:nn:ss\nddd d"/"m gives Sun 25/12

I'm a bit fanatical about saving space, so "25Dec", not "25 Dec". I'd even prefer 2-letter months "Su 25De" (JaFeMrApMyJnJlAuSeOcNoDe) and days (SuMoTuWeThFrSa) if available. Others may disagree!

Font and size need to be chosen to contrast with the background, of course. I use Tahoma 8, AntiAliased (Win7), bold #ffffff (bright white), default background

Notes:

• ndde, mme uses English; nddd, mmm uses system locale short weekday, month
• using a bare slash / invokes the system data separator, which may or may not be the slash character; quoting it "/" forces the slash.

I would also like the choice of a SuMoTuWeThFrSa format. 2 letter weekdays. Ty. :)
