- v1.2 - February 20, 1993
-
- Hopefully removed bug that caused system colors not to work
- on certain configurations. I now default to using the active
- colors rather than the inactive colors. (I was only able to
- reproduce and fis this using Windows 3.0 - if this is still a
- problem, let me know what version of Windows you are using)
-
- Completely tested and compatible with Windows 3.0. There
- were a few compatability issues introduced with v1.1 that are
- now fixed.
-
- Removed custom colors - the clock now always uses system colors
- for the background and the text. Removing this option also
- eliminated a bug which caused a "COMMDLG.DLG could not be found"
- message. (Custom text color is still supported by options in the
- .INI file.)
-
- Make sure that the clock does not cover the entire caption
- bar on small windows. Items on left are given preference over
- items on right.
-
- When all windows are iconized and WinClock is left homeless,
- information is displayed in the WinClock caption bar. Can be
- disabled by setting in .INI file.
-
- Moved all preferences out of win.ini and into WinClock.ini.
-
- Added new display items for displaying free memory, free
- resources and free disk space on a chosen drive.
-
- Added options for what gets displayed when and where it gets
- displayed. Setup dialog is now a hideous mass of radio buttons
- that allow the setting of these options. Any suggestions on a
- better UI that uses standard controls would be appreciated.
-
- Added better support for international time and date settings.
- I now use the system settings for time separator, AM/PM text,
- and date separator. In addition, DD/MM/YY and YY/MM/DD formats
- have been added. Setup dialog now uses current date for sample.
-
- Added option to disable invalidation of entire desktop on
- machines running Windows 3.0.
-
- Once again, I thank all those who gave me ideas and described
- compatability problems.
-
-
- v1.1 - February 7, 1993
-
- Fixed drawing problem that resulted in "ghost" clocks. This
- version uses the Windows 3.1 function RedrawWindow() to invalidate
- the caption of the previous window which had the clock. If
- RedrawWindow() is not available (ie, Windows 3.0 is being used),
- the entire desktop window is invalidated. This does solve the
- problem, but it causes a noticeable flicker. I will continue to
- look for a better solution.
-
- Fixed drawing problem in very small windows - the clock would
- cover the system menu and the window border. Now it will never
- extend outside of the caption area.
-
- Added date. A short click on the clock will display the date in
- the caption bar for a few seconds before displaying the time again.
- There are a couple of date formats available in the Setup... dialog.
-
- Removed flashing colon when seconds are not displayed.
-
- Added ability to position the clock on either the left or the
- right of the caption bar. This is controlled by an option found
- in the Setup... dialog.
-
- Added Setup... dialog so that many options can be set at once.
-
- Added Color... dialog. This dialog allows you to specify the
- text and background color of the clock. It now defaults to using
- the system colors. The Set... buttons are enabled if you have
- the Windows COMMDLG.DLL (I didn't want to create a fancy color
- dialog). Otherwise, type in the RGB value of the color you desire.
-
- Thanks to all the people who contributed ideas and bug reports -
- I will continue to listen and respond to all contributions.
