A little bit of fun development

Home Mobile Blogging Programming

I installed Windows 8 recently and I wanted to check it out and I went to go look at my second monitor to see what time it was and :: frowny face :: that’s right, I forgot. No desktop gadgets, so no timer/clock. Hrmph

Then it occurred to me, “oh yeah, I know how to make that” so I proceeded to grab vs express 2012 from the windows store.

Install on all of our was flawlessly, though I am some what disappointed that they won’t be releasing the windows 8 express version until after the dust from the full blown visual studio 2012 has died down.

Anyway my only options were windows store xaml apps, so I went with a blank one and have a full screen clock now… Fun anyway, tomorrow I’ll try and get it not full screen.
