Is there any way to make the clock in the lower right to be a different
color and a little bit bigger?

Thanks ahead of time

Tclocklight is a good alternative. Google for it.

You can use this freeware third-party application. It does not even need installation:

TClock Light

There is really no way without using a third-party tool, such as
WindowBlinds or StyleXP skin creator software.

The only way to change the size of the Clock text using a
Microsoft-supplied tool is by making a global change of Windows fonts
using "Large Fonts" rather than 96dpi-or-smaller fonts. However, this
will NOT change the wired-in color of the Clock font, which is ALWAYS
"black on light-colored skins" and "white on dark-colored skins"

I have tried the t-clock and I found it difficult to select the Properties
or the Settings of the clock in the taskbar. I could get the style of the
day, date,month, year set to my liking but I could not find if there is any
option to set the resolution of the screen. Whereas I use a screen
resolution in the range of 1024 x 800 or even 1200 x 800, once the t-clock
is activated, as soon as Windows opens and the t-clock comes up, it blacks
out the screen for a second and re-opens with a low resolution of 640 x 480.
I then have to manually change the resolution to my choice, every time.
I am not a C or C+ programmer and do not know if there are lines in the
source code which permit a user to select a resolution of his/her choice.
But the I did not find any step in the tabulated Options to fix the
resolution to my choice.

I would be glad to use the t-clock if anyone tells me how to set the
resolution.
