Ok, so there are third party tools which do this job, but both of the above (last time I checked... two months) did not use the new chrome Fisher Price toy look of WinXp.

Both tools rock and I've used both extensively, but TClockEx is no longer supported (dumb, open source it, dude) and DQSD needed all sorts of tweaks to make it not look garish and clunky.

Again, why is such a simple thing not sitting IN YOUR FACE on the desktop.
