removing time from systray? Thread last updated on 2005-08-09 18:32:53

Greetz,

Any idea where to look to remove the time and date from systray? I tried commenting out all system_time.rc, but apparently more is needed?

try unloading the module that system_time.rc would be using, label etc.

Hm..., tried searching for a line that would load label, but couldn't find. I'm using austerity theme, not in it's config. Not in steps.rc. Any further help?

Open the theme.rc, and comment out the following by putting a ";" infront of it (no quotes):

include "$ConfigDir$system_time.rc"

It won't be quite that easy, though. You're going to have variable errors to fix, and if something else's position relies on those label's positions for their position, it won't be in the right spot.

Hehe, been there, done that, and indeed several errors popped up. I guess I'll have to settle with it residing on my bar.

Thanx all.

You dont have to settle with anything (especially in LS)

;)

Knowledge-Effort=Settle
Effort-Knowledge=Settle

So really Effort+Knowledge+Time=Wicked cool shell

:D

btw...why would you not want the time?

Because rainmeter can do it in a more fashionable manner, which I'm putting on my left top corner together with system resources.

you could just set the labeltext to ""
but there would be a gap there then...

What about setting label text to "" *and* changing the label width to just a few pixels?

Posted by member 248213 on 2005-08-08 07:14:16 link

west: I was gonna say that, but then the other elements probably arent relative to the label width/x (which means manually changing everything anyway)

What a drag :P

ok, the label is timelbl, which is configured in austerity\config\system_time.rc. but you'll want to create something to take it's place, since just getting rid of the shell will leave a blank spot where the time was.

Can't the tray icons fill this gap? With so many tray icons, this will be space wasted, not?

they COULD, except for the fact that the tray icon's are taking up the top left and bottom left right now. you can't have them only take up the top left, bottom left, and top right. they would then need to take up the bottom right also.
