Uptime 2000 - Tool to display your system uptime transparently on your desktop

  • Artikel

I'm posting an old utility I wrote back in 2001 that displays your system's uptime transparently on your desktop in response to a request made by Joku in my comments section.  It's a C++ Win32 app, so no C# love happening on this one.  Here's a now ancient screenshot that demonstrates what the app actually does:

I'm pretty sure I ported this to C# at one point but I'm not finding the project on the machine I'm on.  If I manage to find it, I'll post it here soon.

You can download the app and its source here.

    I saw this and had it running for a little while before I got curious and decided to see what I could whip together in .NET
    http://www.winextra.com/images/misc/wxclock.jpg is what I came up with :)

    thanks for the inspiration as I learned a couple of new things in the process which was fun.

    Not yet .. just fleshing it out with some options and then I'll release a binary at the website .. probably in a couple of days.

    It already allows you to copy the displayed info to the clipboard and I'm working on font change right now .. I may add a simple alarm feature to it as well

    Gus,

    It hasn't made it up to the site yet but here is a link to grab it by if you still want to have a look.

    You can now pick your own fonts and it a a simple alarm.

    Very cool Steven! I like how you can drag the window by the little clock. That makes it easier than having to switch in and out of transparent mode. With my background, the text is a little hard to read though, even after changing the font. I think it's because of the shadow effect you have going. Making that an option might be a good idea. Nice job though...

    Thanks I'm glad you like it. Also if wxClock is hidden behind other windows just double click on the systray icon for it and it will pop to the front.

    I noticed that myself here with the shadows. I agree with you about making the shadowing optional but I have also been thinking on adding the option to let the user select their own colors as well.

    Thanks on the compliments .. it's appreciated.
