You know, I really wish VT allowed you to send messages to other users. In this case, Tice_582 has reported a problem and I have no way to follow up with the user to see what's going on. I can only hope they send me email and/or check back here to follow up.

The installer should have installed TimeStat into your /Applications folder. Just like any other application (menu bar or otherwise), you'll need to open Finder and double click the app to start it. You should then get a default formatted clock in your menubar.

A couple of caveats. If your menubar already has a lot of "stuff" in it, the menu of the currently active application will mask menubar items. And as you decrease your resolution, it takes less and less for this to happen. For instance, I have a 15" TiBook and have the battery level, airport indicator and TimeStat in the right of my menubar. For most applications, if they are active their menu doesn't get very close to the right (for instance Safari has File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Window, Help and in my case Debug with plenty of room to spare between Debug and the TimeStat display).

But when I run Xcode, there are so many menu items on the menubar that if I'm not careful about what I've put into TimeStat, the menubar automatically hides TimeStat (or whatever is left most anyway).

Now, it could be that I somehow packaged the app incorrectly, but then I did test this on my wife's Powerbook and had no problems.

It could be that somehow, in spite of having packaged it properly, something happened such that the app wasn't installed properly. In that case I would ask Tice_582 to open Finder, make sure the search area is set to "Local Disks" and enter TimeStat in the field to see if it was installed in a weird location.

It could be that the user has a really low resolution and lots of other goodies in the right side of their menu bar, in which case TimeStat probably is running but isn't being displayed.

It could be that the user expected the application to be auto started, in which case I would ask that they go to Finder into the /Applications folder and double click the TimeStat app to start it.

One thing I will do, out of courtesy to anyone interested in using this, is to whip up a simple Readme to explain what should happen and what to do. I'm sorry I didn't do that in the first place.

Please, please, please though, for myself and any other developer whose software you grab through VT, if you have problems, email the developer responsible. Write on VT if you wish, but if the developer can't get feedback on what folks are having problems with, they can't possibly be expected to supply a decent application.
