| Oh. I like that. ALOT. :OD Dam good Splitwirez. It reminds me of the Windows 7 bootup animation. Did anyone make one of those yet? Er...where is that animation? Also, the rainbow pattern was pulled from a Google search. Took a lot of work to get it to look good as a scrolling animation, though :lol: |

IIRC Windows 7 had a feature to display multiple clocks on the taskbar. Evidently that was changed in Windows 10, such that you have to hover over the original clock to see the additional ones.
