Description:
Pocket Digital Clock (PDC) is a small and simple program that shows a large digital clock with second display on the Windows Mobile Today Screen. Date is shown above the digital clock very much like the HTC Home plug-in. Name of the service provider is replaced by day of week instead.

Tapping on Pocket Digital Clock will bring the user to the Clock and Alarms window, similar to the behavior of Windows Mobile default Date plug-in.

Features:
- Large digital clock with second display.
- Light-weight program.
- Portrait/landscape and square screen support.
- 96, 128 and 192 DPI support.
- Orientation awareness.
- Low CPU usage.
- TrueType (non-bitmap) font rendering.
- Optional network operator name display.
- Customizable.
- Freeware.

Limitations:
- Windows Mobile Smartphone not supported.
- May not work on Windows Mobile with right-to-left language support.

IMPORTANT:
If you have installed prior versions of Pocket Digital Clock (Release Candidate 1.2 or earlier), uninstall the earlier version before you install the new one. See Uninstallation Notes below for more details.

If you have custom font installed for RC 1.2 or earlier, rename the file extension of PDCcustom.ttf in the \Windows\ folder and remove it later. Font mapping has changed in the new version and PDCcustom.ttf will not work anymore.

- Go to Start | Settings | System | Remove Programs.
- Select ProjectION Pocket Digital Clock and tap the Remove button.

- Installation of files moved from %InstallDir% (Program Files folder) to %CE2% (Windows folder).

- Initial release.

***** [Apr 26, 2008] by Hendrik using Qtek 9100

***** [Apr 21, 2008] by LalaX using HTC Touch
Yes, it works now! :) Nice. Btw. i'm not chinese but danish ;) But nice work. I love it!

***** [Mar 17, 2008] by accho using HTC Touch Chinese
Good news for corrupted fonts! I followed the homesite (http://project.ionized.googlepages.com/customization)logic to add a custom font: instead of pasting anything new, I copy (copy, not rename) the tahoma.ttf under :/window/ & renamed it as PDCcustom.tff at the same place, then soft reset==> the corrupted font on htc cube (Chinese) became normal again!

***** [Mar 13, 2008] by steve using Kaiser
Great but could not use, it duplicates the HTC Clock on my device. hence I have the Big HTC clock and PDC under. And still having problems uninstalling now. The clock goes but it is still showing as an installed program.

***** [Mar 10, 2008] by tw_frankie using HP RW6828
Great to have a large clock on my device finally. Best if you can add the battery status. Keep up the good work. THX.

**** [Mar 10, 2008] by Mir Abbas using HTC Touch TouchFLO
Thumbs up to the creator of this freeware!!!... it works well on my HTC Touch TouchFLO without any mess...the only concern about it is this it does not customize the clock's digits font as mentioned in its features... there is no menu/option for any such customization... please help me out...

*** [Mar 10, 2008] by ACCHO using HTC Touch (Chinese)
(V1.1RC) a 4 star for the simplicitiy & compact size (just the right stuff if you want to put away oversized HTC Home) but WAIT if you are HTC Touch (Chinese) user!! : (1) the fonts on all the Touch Cube (Chinese) became questionmarks. (2) need to use 'Today Plugin Uninstaller' before Uninstalling it at Setup (otherwise, the wrong font code at Cube persists)

** [Mar 8, 2008] by LalaX using HTC Touch
Hey.. It looks really nice. And works ok. But it totally fucks up my menus in my HTC Touch TouchFLO menu. They are now labeled with "??????????"... If you could fix that in the next update please. Nice program. Very useful and cool. But screws my Touch up... Sorry for my english.
