There’s a lot I like about the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, but I miss my Desktop clock. Is that just gone? Or is there some other way to have the time on my Desktop?Ah yes, the old Desktop Widgets and side panel from Windows 7 days. It was definitely a really cool concept and there were a number of slick widgets people created, but there was one major issue that caused Microsoft to drop it from Windows 8: security. In fact, it was way back in July of 2010 that Microsoft everyone disable the Win7 Desktop Gadgets!By Windows 8, the logic was that the start screen would give you everything you wanted, whether it was a weather widget, a clock, a stock ticker or anything else.
On October 19, the image of Hatsune Miku started to appear on Yahoo search page. In 2012, Hatsune Miku became the winner of the 2012 London Olympics' Idol and Icon Virtual Yang You idol 'but the victory was Hatsune Miku also victims of mass removal related videos on YouTube, because the videos Hatsune Miku judged to be inappropriate.
True, it did, but then Windows 10 came along and we went back to the Desktop with a Start menu. Inintha kaigal full movie download torrent. And while those active tiles remain accessible from the Start menu, the widgets never quite made it back when we were all dropped back onto the Desktop upon login.Still, the official Microsoft answer for Windows 10 would undoubtedly be “use the active tiles on the new start menu”, and that works when the menu’s visible. Otherwise, wellI looked around and did find someone who had cobbled together a Windows 7 widget utility that brings back the original Win7 desktop widgets, but it’s rather flakey from what I can ascertain. Still, let’s have a look, because if all you want is a clock and the clock on the Taskbar (you know, the lower right edge of your screen) isn’t enough, it is a solution. Not a great solution.Start by going to and downloading the program, then double click to begin the install process:Certainly looks good, doesn’t it?
Click Next to continue.Disclaimer: I scanned the binary when I downloaded and installed this program and it was clean. I can’t guarantee it’ll always be that way, so please use caution when you grab a copy and if your anti-virus program complains, don’t install it!It installs easily enough and once launched, shows a familiar Window with some very familiar looking widgets and gadgets:The only gadget I tested thoroughly was the Clock and that’s easy to get going: Just double click on it and an analog clock pops up on the top right of your Desktop, floating above all the other windows:Hurray!
I’ve just found a workaround that avoids installing anything! I keep a shortcut to timeanddate.com on my desktop which quickly opens up my local time which I can see when I’m feet away from my desk and want to know what time it is.I just enlarged the clock which gave me a full window of the time.
And then I saw “PopUp Window” in the bar at the menu bar at the top of the clock. When I clicked on it, it opened up a separate smaller window showing the date and time – big enough font to be viewed several feet away. You can resize the window and it will stay open after you close the browser. So sweeeeeeeet!
(Oh, freaking sweet, I just noticed the — that allows you to make the numbers even bigger or smaller.) (oh, hells bells! Just adjusting the window size auto-sizes the clock!). I don’t know if you can change it to be analog clock face but that doesn’t matter to me – I just want to know what time it is.I suspect that I’m going to have to go to the website and activate the pop-up every time I log back in but I won’t mind that (since I already have the shortcut on my desktop).
