Well I don't know how I found the link to the
PDC background on
Jeff's page but it's pretty darn cool. In any case back in the XP Launch countdown days
Jon made a nice taskbar countdown... complements of
ADACT of course. I'd like to continue the tradition and make a nice PDC Countdown available for your taskbar. Simply create a new toolbar on your taskbar by right clicking the taskbar going up to Toolbar and clicking New Toolbar copy in this URL:
http://blogs.coreygouker.com/countdown/pdc/Then you're set. Unlock the taskbar if it's locked, position it where you want, get rid of the title and lock that taskbar down! Enjoy and count down those seconds and minutes.
I was going to try and integrate the countdown into a webpage that could be used as a desktop background but someone that should deserve to be axed made it so that Active Desktop items turns off the alpha blending of desktop icons, yuck. Sorry about that, maybe some softie reading this will fix that in LH! Yes Jon, there's a chance, Longhorn may even fix that! Woohoo! PDC!!!
