- Clock text size
- Posted by zixca on October 27th, 2005
Is there any way to increase the clock's text size in the taskbar, lower
right corner?
I want to keep my resolution at 1024X768.
Thanks.

Perhaps not with the XP clock.
But you could try TClockex http://www.rcis.co.za/dale/
You can change quite a few things about the clock's appearance. The format
of the time is one of these (including showing seconds).
I use 1024 *768 and I have the clock set to about the height of the bar
(Tahoma 8pt), with green text on black background

Windows doesn't show seconds as it is a gigantic preformance hit.

Does that mean that any clock showing seconds is also detrimental to
performance?
I also have a desktop clock by PHM Plus!, which shows both an analog clock
with second hand, and a digital clock in the format hh:mm:ss AM/PM, plus
date
I don't detect the PC running slowly - at least not because of this - other
programs slow it down tremendously, e.g. Picture It!

It means that code paths are called once per second rather than once per minute. Means it won't be swapped out (despite the morons here that keep wanting to disable VM - windows tries to maximise it's paging) and less memory available to all other things..
