Taskbar clock???

Thursday, October 2, 2003 by kquinn | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I wonder if someone would please take a look at a screenshot of my desktop, and tell me if you have seen this clock before, and if so, where the heck can I find it again? This was an image I had saved a couple months ago before a major crash. Since then I have not been able to get it back...tried everything I can think of. It is sitting to the left of the system tray. It was resizeable by stretching it out, also configurable to change the color, date, time, minutes, seconds, etc. Sure would appreciate any info!

That clock came with an early version of stardock's VWM (virtual window manager). For some reason it's not included in the latest version
I use it all the time.

If you have a backup of your previous C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory you may have a chance of getting it back if you can find the 'bandclock.dll' and 'bandclockext.dll' files and restore them into you current installation.

You then right click on the taskbar and the 'clock' entry should appear under the 'Toolbars' option.

I anyone from Stardock is watching... can this please be made downloadable again somehow (either standalone or with BANDVWM) ?

Thanks! I finally found someone that also used it. I do hope it will be made available again. I may have a backup, and will try it. Thanks again for the info..

Hmmm not good - although it's also not something you'd remember to think to make a backup of...

FWIW, I posted a request in Stardock's news server whether they can possibly post the DLL's somewhere on their website for download...

Good Luck !
