... or do the rest of you use the multi-clock option for your OS? Here's mine :D
-
@Vaire Not just you!
-
@Tsaukpaetra Oh good, I was worried I was weird. Well ... weirder than normal anyway:D
-
@Vaire Sometimes.
-
It’s just you. Well, a far as I’m concerned anyway. Only clock I have on my screen is this:

I actually need several more than Windows allows.

You are confusing me with crankier people. Clocks aren't cranky:P

@Weng "Bosses" and "Annoying" ... NICE!
-
@Vaire theres another timezone between the two which I would have named "Asshats", and then there's "Helldesk time" which is around on the other side of the planet.

I know some really good recruiters who are global. I can get you in touch with them if you ever want to get out {{hugs}}

@Vaire the exit strategy is already in effect.
-
@Weng Oh good, that makes me feel better

-
@Vaire Of course:
EDIT: Custom names:
-
@blakeyrat Well, obviously.
The left one gives you the seconds, the middle one removes the seconds as a distraction, and the right one is a redundant check to ensure accuracy
-
@Vaire That's actually a gag from The Incredibles I really liked.
The boring-ass insurance boss guy (Gilbert Godfry, of all people) has 4 clocks on his wall, per normal. Except instead of being set to Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, they're all set to the exact same time.

Didn't know that, funny :D
-
It has never occurred to me to want to do that (TIME ZONE PRIVILEGE). However, I do use my systems ability to display the same clock on multiple monitors.
-
@blakeyrat I see you also long for Windows 98 and enormous piles of notification area icons.
-
@Weng This is a work laptop, not mine.
-
@blakeyrat Meh, I am on a work laptop too, I still disabled the long-tray mode to display every icon in existance ;)
-
@blakeyrat Yeah, but surely they didn't default to unhide all that. Sysadmins love hiding as much as possible from the user.
-
@Weng I don't remember if they did or not. Who cares? Just icons.
-

That's not always true. Default Windows vanilla mode is to display all tray icons. It has to be a custom image they are putting on the machines, to disable it on a clean install.
-
Never saw the point of it really. Anyone that you have to contact regularly enough to warrant the clock you might as well just learn the offset. For everyone else, it is easy enough to ask google.

@Vaire norepro WinVista, 7, 10.

@Dragoon Thinking is hard.

Don't know what to tell you. Every fresh/vanilla install of Windows I have encountered from XP onwards, has had it set that way. Maybe I'm just a special snowflake?

Mine have always auto-hidden by default too. Win10 makes it easier to "pin" them. Just drag from the flyout. No need to go to that old customize dialog.

No you just use programs that must constantly update their notification icon.
The default setting is "Only Show Notifications" (setting that should theoretically be available since XP, but better exposed in Vista and up).You must either set each one to "Show icon and notifications" a la:
Or, disable collapsing/hiding altogether:
The latter can be set via group policy (IIRC), but it's definitely not enabled by default.

GNOME allows at least 5 (that's how many I have).
-
@blakeyrat said in Is it just me...:
Just icons.
Until they cut into your taskbar button space (unless you like "hide captions" or whatever the setting is.)
-
I've got 4. Rarely use them though.
Also never noticed the long date is the wrong way round...

If I had multiple clocks, I'd have Tyria time (UTC) and Inedo time (E?T).
-
@ben_lubar said in Is it just me...:
Inedo time
Oh, I like that. Ima keep that name :) (also yay for unintentional advertising and obscure references)
-

Like ... the company name that is in the footer of every page of this forum??
-
@Luhmann no, like calling EST "Indeo time" to see who gets it (nobody) then feeling smug and better than everyone.
When I put it that way it sounds kinda depressing......
-
@sloosecannon I could also have a clock for Valve time, but Valve time is non-linear so it's really hard to estimate.
-
@ben_lubar well I think their clock ran out of Steam. The fuel of the atomic clock core is probably past its Half Life or something. Someone needs to tweak the Valve on the pipe controlling it or something.

Lies. I had to apply a specific registry tweak to make all tray icons visible on the school computers, which are all running images I made myself starting with 100% vanilla setup discs.

It's been that way since at least Windows 7.

Since W7 had the Customize link, I never had a reason to discover that...
