I have used all the "bar" clocks. This one is great. Large if you wish and all the information you would like or as little as you want. I like Sun, Apr 17,8:58 and it allows just that. It would be nice if they allowed a feature found in a program I use called "weatherdoc" This program sets an icon on the desktop for your local weather. When you mouse over the icon it disappears. This allows you to have the information always visible and if its in the way you just mouse over. Something to think on. OUTSTANDING product.
