Title bar Clock

For the most part the title bar at the top of most Windows applications is just a waste of space, with just the name of the program on the left, the Minimise, Maximise and Close icons on the right and nothing much else in between.

Here’s a nifty little freeware program found by Propellerhead that makes good use of some of that wasted space. It’s called TitleBarClock and it really is tiny (the zip file is just 61kb) and once installed it inserts the time (12 or 24 hour format), date, day of the week and how much free HDD memory you have on the left of any active title bar that has mouse or keyboard focus.

It’s highly configurable from the icon that appears in the System Tray and it can be set to start with Windows. Looking for more PC tweaks? Then head over to the archive at PCTopTips
