Timekeeper

Display the date and time on your taskbar in any format and color (including transparent). Get rid of that tiny, useless Windows clock. Pop up a calendar when you need one. Resize it to show as many or as few months as you want. Move Timekeeper around and it'll remember its position and size. You can drag Timekeeper wherever you want it--even vertically--just like your other deskbands. You can also drag Timekeeper off the taskbar and let it "float" on your Windows XP or Vista desktop. (Windows 7 removed support for this feature.)
