Taskbar Clock Enhancement (TClockEx) enhances the standard Windows taskbar clock, adding the ability to display the date, time and lots of other information in any format you like. TClockEx is highly customizable, from the format to the font and colour, and even the tooltip information. Many people have wondered why this wasn’t built into the standard clock to begin with.

Beginning with version 1.4, TClockEx includes the ability to include user-defined display elements. A user-defined element appears in any of TClockEx’s format strings as an element name surrounded by ‘%’ symbols. For example, the following format string includes a user-defined element named USER, which will be expanded by TClockEx. Third party applications can interface with TClockEx to set and reset the values of user-defined elements by poking values into TClockEx’s DDE server. This is documented in the TClockEx help file.
