iClock - A more powerful menubar clock
Authored by: jimphelps on Aug 13, '03 11:05:07AM

WClock from Wolfware is a freeware (donations accepted ;-) ) menu bar clock that shows date and time, click for a pop up calendar. I've been running this for months and I like it a lot. Customize colors, fonts, date display.

wClock modifications
Authored by: mclbruce on Aug 13, '03 12:17:19PM

I use wClock as well, with a few modifications:

1. I wasn't happy with having an icon in my dock. After setting all of my options I modified the info.plist file by adding the following:

<key>NSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>

This turns off the dock icon, as well as all the menu choices! All I have left is the date and time, but that's all I want. You could keep an unmodified copy of wClock, call it "wClock settings," and use it to change the settings. Just quit the current running wClock in Process Viewer before running "wClock settings."

2. The brushed look for the pop-up calendar wasn't attractive to me, so I changed it with Apple's developer tools.

This may seem like a lot of trouble, but modifying wClock was a great way for me to apply what I have learned from reading MacOSXHints. Details for making both changes are available on this site.
