iClock - A more powerful menubar clock

Alternatively, for a free clock/date thing, configure PTH Clock to %d/%m %H:%M for the time, then None on Toggle Time/Date On and Single Click on Toggle Calendar On.

iClock - A more powerful menubar clock

I second this recommendation of PTH Clock. I have FuzzyClock running, with a customized text to prepend "It's" to the time; then PTH Clock with "on %A %1d %B %y" as the string, both set with matching 12 pt LucidaGrande with shadow.
The result is "It's twentyfive to eleven on Wednesday 13 August 03"
The only thing that beats FREE in utilities is FREE and CUSTOMIZABLE!

How do you keep PTH Clock from showing the time? I can't get it to display only the date, all the time.

In the "time" box, instead of choosing a time-format option from the drop down menu, just type in the string I mentioned in my previous post.
Hope that helps.

I agree: PTH Clock is very well done, quite configurable, and free -- as in "free without any expectation of paying close to 20% of the price of the OS for a menu bar clock," and as in "free of the unbelievable bloat that makes up much of the '3000 new features' of iClock." The features that matter for me are already in PTH Clock.

Granted, iCal integration would be nice, but I don't find I'm missing it. Maybe in OS X 10.4, Apple will better integrate the menu bar clock with iCal and other apps. Until then, I'd concur with some of the others here and recommend checking out PTH Clock.
