Dennis, would it be possible to have a separate time window displaying UTC that we could position anywhere on screen we wanted that was not associated with the "info" window? I'd find that quite useful.

Ok, this wouldn't actually need to be a part of LOGic, right? Just a small window that could be floated about or perhaps put on the task bar or tray area? I have been looking for a small Windows Presentation Foundation project to learn WPF better, and this might be it?

Tnx & 73,

It wouldn't need to be part of Logic as long as you could still see it with Logic running. A background task, fine...background presentation, not so much...unless for some reason it was in the way and it needed to be out of the way.

Thanks!

Another thought.....if you do it outside of Logic, how will it update with NIST?

Doug,
I suggest you check out Rainmeter (website rainmeter.net). Though I use a fancy skin that looks
like an HTC cell phone, you could use the simplest of skins and just load the time. You will need
to edit the "skin" settings for the time zone and to tell it to stay on top. DeviantArt has lots
of skins for Rainmeter.

73's, Don
