Hi there ,)
Since i'am lazy ... and i always want to see the date and time in the taskbar .. without regedit and put stylus out for softreset ,)

Maybe u find it useful too ,) have fun ..

Tips and fixed Bugs

TF USA Date Formate Calendar Bug : (FIXED)
Try the new version (> v0.2.1) to set your date corresponding to your Date Format US / EU

a few known things that registry tweaks can't / can do

Note 1: If you are switching to the Analog clock display, the date will remain visible through the Analog clock.
Note 2: Setting the clock to invisible (show ‘nothing’) will not release the reserved space, so taskbar background is shown, and obscure any icons that will shift to the right.
Note 3: The date may get overlapped by the space reserved for the OK/Close button in the top-right corner. The fix is to add spaces at the end of your ‘Short Date Format’.

If u want to show a battery icon and the date and time u could try this nice tool

is there any way of positioning it to show the date and time in the center of the taskbar? That'd give me the best both worlds, as I love the custom taskbar icons. thanks!

[itesla]

And... could you let us change the font and size as well as centering it?

I have been running rltoday "full screen" with one of the "hide the taskbar" programs. I can't see the WM icons that way though, and whenever I rotate to hardware keyboard.... the taskbar comes back. Still using 8125/Wizard/WM5.

Will look after that ,9 but i'am away now over the weekend ...
for positioning the date u can try a little workaround .. put some spaces after the short date
like "dd/MM " then it gets positioned a bit more to the left

Thanks tk_berlin, excellent application.

Actually, there is a bug with this application. Once installed on my Diamond, the Calendar no longer shows any appointments on the TF today screen. I have had to restore twice now....

Install with caution and BACK UP FIRST.
