    I want my taskbar to show the date along with the time.

    Normally it just shows the time. How can I get it to show the day of the week and/or the date without having to stretch the taskbar up.

    I know you can do this by stretching the taskbar, but it makes the bar look ugly.

    Is there another way?

    You could mouse over the time and it'll show the date.

    You may have to just wait for some better advise from other members. I'm clueless to this.

    To Wolf Mike, if you install ObjectDock, there's an icon that will show you the date. maybe that will help.

    Which is better for Vista, Launchy or Colibri?

    Also, Launchy will not show mp3's, even though I add *.mp3 in options ?

    EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it. But now that I've added my mp3's, RAM usage is 36mb :O

    tclock has been the best way to do this, but it doesn't work on Vista, as of the last time i tried it. The most recent version of it is the "stoic joker tclock3" version, but that was crashing for me on vista 64 bit.

    alfaclock is another option, but again it might not work on vista.

    I've been using tclock for years, and really miss it on vista.
