Hello. I'm interested in using Digital Clock 4 as part of a streaming setup in OBS. I wanted a separate clock program so that I could use "Window Capture" in OBS to display a clock, and have a fullscreen video on the actual screen doing burn-in prevention, since the computer does not sleep while streaming. (the main stream is the camera rather than the desktop, so I don't need/want the desktop view)
The problem is that in the OBS Window Capture selection, Digital Clock 4 doesn't show up as an option. This may be due to the fact that there is no window created in the taskbar for Digital Clock 4, it just sorta floats on the desktop and has a tray icon.
The feature I would like added is the option to make Digital Clock 4 detectable as a window by OBS. If necessary, by adding a window to the taskbar.
feature is added. try next version.
go to 'Experimental' tab in settings dialog, you will find 'show app icon in Windows TaskBar' here.
app restart is required after changing this option (Qt' restriction).
tested on Win 10 with latest available OBS, with this option enabled OBS able to detect both clock versions (installer and portable), only one thing to mention - capture method should be changed from 'Automatic' to '... Windows 10 1903 ...' (have no Win PC right now to get exact option name), otherwise nothing is visible.
Works great! Thank you.
