Great tool...and nice design. Thank you, Oliver G!

worked as soon as i installed it. does what it says it will. more skins would be nice tho.

Great tool

Got Win Vista Premium x32, and works great, loaded up date/time and countdown is on, good for anything that's upcoming, gonna keep this one :)

Im having the same problem that liz is having can not update or change info asafar as Date Time and text goes. I cannot even change the display type.

there is probably a specific file u must have deleted, redownload, and becarefull not to erase it, or refind it... thats what happen to my "imps's player", i accidentally deleted my special file to the recycle bin, thats why it didnt work untill i restored it, hope this comment was usefull!!! =) p.s. im not a computer geek, k?

Perhaps it's Win7, perhaps it's the widget. No custom date is accepted, valid or not. No deletion of special files, this is a FRESH Win7!! Second installed widget.

It doesn't work. I put the title, select my font, etc., and then when I put the date in (CORRECTLY!) and I click "ok" it won't do anything!!!!!!!!!

The good: Compact size allows two or more of these to be used at once without taking up too much real estate. I like the skin that mimics the sidebar calendar. Easily set up with a good variety of options. What needs improvement: Only two skins, and the blue one is boring. Can't customize skin color. When the appointed day arrives it says "Finished" even though the day is not over (Might be better to say "Today"). Text can be any of several colors, but black is not an option.
