Replacement for TClockEx

I have used TClockEx for a long time. My IT insists that I not use it any longer. The only reason he gives is that it "hooks the kernel in an unsafe way."

So I need a substitute clock for my system tray -- one that shows time, date, day of the week.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

 

This is a freebie that I use... http://www.download.com/AlfaClock-Free/3000-2350_4-10433410.html ...but don't check for updates for it, as the updated version on their website became trial/nagware after a month. Low ram with lots of configs.

 

Digital Timepiece

As recommended by EASTER a few days ago.

Plenty of options to choose from.
Currently the simple white timepiece skin sits nicely in my tray.

And for world clock, an excellent program.

 

Here you will find lots of freeware clock utilities

There is a stripped down version of TClock called LClock some info located here http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/1092761816/1 or you can just search on the word LClock.

 

I used to use TClockEx also, but then went to NTPTime, and was fully satisfied with it. Worked well for me. Here is a link:

Edit: Sorry folks and Bellgamin, I am a little brain dead this morning and posted this thinking you were looking for a good time sync program.. which is not the case at all. My apologies.. It IS good for time sync though...

 

i love that program, it makes the clock look much better, then when you click the tray clock the calendar appears and that has an alarm, countdown timer too, it's really easy to use and there are some great skins too. i'm sure it hooks the kernel too though lol

 

LClock here also. Plus it uses very little RAM.

 

Since the original problem was that Bellgamin's IT thought TClockex hooking was unsafe the resolution might be to have him look at the lighter version LClock if you like it that is...and give either a thumbs up or down. At least that way your getting the IT involved...sometimes it's just that they like to be the approving factor. Anyway good luck Bellgamin.

 

Giving 2 of the suggestions a try. Thanks to all of you for the help!

 

Yes!

Don't forget to also download the mini-color skins. I've transitioned ALL my snapshots nearly to this mini-size/multi-color type and it is so Kool!

I'll keep searching the net for more creative skins. One of these dayz i like to spend some time designing a few of thoze to share.

Only drawback is if explorer ever crashes, it takes DigitalTimepiece with it. I miss that clock anytime that happens, which isn't often.
