T-Clock VS Glasscord

T-Clock: GitHub page

I have been using T-Clock for years, which can be configured to show the seconds right in the taskbar. Not sure if it works on Windows 11, but, it probably does (it works on Windows 10).

Tools used | StartAllBack, OldNewExplorer, - MicaForEveryone, TClock Redux

MSStyle is Tokyo Night by niivu Font is Input Taskbar is StartAllBack Music display is AudioBand Clock is T-Clock Browser is Vivaldi Editor is Notepad++ Terminal is Windows Terminal Thingy running in the terminal is winfetch (scoop) Icon theme is Papirus Blue Grey by niivu

Although I guess I did add spaces for readability on my clock...

I'm using Auto Dark Mode to switch from light to dark based on time of day. My problem is that T-Clock doesn't follow the system theme so text stays white when the system switches to light

Taskbar is an amalgamation of multiple softwares. I used StartAllBackas a base, RoundedTB, and T-Clock. With T-Clock, I found out that if you leave a ton of blank spaces before the time format, it'll create a gap where I have a custom Rainmeter skin for the music player nestled in.

Glasscord

No idea. But if you click on the link and then click through to the GitHub page then it is mentioned at the top.

Since telegram is based on electron take a look at this. https://github.com/AryToNeX/Glasscord

Glasscord. https://github.com/AryToNeX/Glasscord I see it has been depreciated now but it’s still usable. I have some CSS in my dots files in .config/glasscord but I advise you to get their CSS and modify it to your liking because mine has my color scheme baked into it.

It's slow to start, constantly downloads a bazillion updates. Information-wise, it's not very dense. It's hard to customize; doing so requires a bunch of hacky stuff: https://github.com/AryToNeX/Glasscord/wiki/Installation

Using a third-party client is a bannable offense under the terms of service. I hate the little "emoticon" icons that are all over the place. It set itself to auto-start on boot (this behavior may be different on win/mac). I don't like trusting it with my messages. It tries to show what applications users are running at the moment. There have been some improvements, but I still don't trust the security of electron.

These are some of the ones I can remember off the top of my head. Generally, it always seemed like it was both trying to baby me and seem "cool". It's many of the things I hate in modern software in one application.

Other: VS Code has been modified using Glasscord

. . install("Glasscord");

There's also Glasscord which adds composition effects to apps like Discord and VSCode (but should also work with almost any electron app)
