ZTrayClock is a simple C# application written to replace the default Windows clock with a pair of notification area (that is, "system tray") icons. It was inspired by another such application I saw back when I ran Windows XP whose name I have since forgotten.
It is slightly smaller than the standard Windows clock on the Windows 7 taskbar. Even though I have the notification area set to hide most icons, I found the distance the clock made it protrude to the left quite bothersome. I wrote this for use on my laptop, which has a narrower screen than my desktop.
ZTrayClock looks like this.
The Windows clock looks like this.
The difference isn't that drastic, but on a 1366x768 screen (such as my laptop's), every little bit helps.
