Sadly enough, Tray Date's name actually sums up the extent of its capabilities. This ultrabasic program displays the current date in your system tray and nothing more. It doesn't even obtain the information from an external resource, but gathers it directly from your system. Since a quick hover over the standard time display displays the same information, there seems little point in adding unnecessary clutter to the system tray. Tray Date also lacks an uninstaller and had to be shut down from the Windows Task Manager before removing it. Although this small program is free, it isn't worth downloading or adding to your desktop.

Needs Net Framework 1.1 to run even when I had NF 3.5
Skylark88February 3, 2010
Pros
No pros for me.
Cons
Need Net Framework 1.1 to run.
Summary
TrayDate wanted to install an older version 1.1 of Net Framework even when I already had Net Framework ver 3.5 installed. I'm not about to install a huge "OLD VERSION" of Net Framework just to display the date in my tray. This software needs to be updated to run using the latest versions of Net Framework.
does exactly what it says, for free

Pros
This simple but effecitve tool does exactly what it says, and solves a long standing pain in my side. I can never keep the current date in my head and need to refer to it constantly... the stupid ms date stops working after a few uses...
Cons
There are no cons.
Summary
and besides, why should it be such a tall order to show the darn date anyway? This tool enables you to show the icon rather than double the task bar real estate just for one item. Best thing is its free and takes two seconds to install. Who cares if this is all it does? It does what it says it does... I wish more apps specialized like this rather than try to be everything to everyone.
Does not show the day of the week, just the date.

Pros
Small size, easy install.
Cons
All it shows is the date as a blue number on a white square in the system tray. I'm looking for a program to display the date, time, and possibly the day of the week, in the same font and same location as the system clock. This program just wasn't it.
