Can't believe I didn't know about this app!

I was getting sick and tired of Windows going up or down in volume increments of 2%. Why can't we set the increments in Windows by default? Anyway, with this app, I can set the increment to 1% and also override the default volume media keys to use Volume2's defaults as well. Bonus is you can also use your mouse's scrollwheel on the taskbar to control the volume.

All that and it only uses less than 2MB of RAM and less than 0.2% of CPU when active. Greatly recommended!

@Ennovy v1.1.8.464 appears to be a beta version. Perhaps we should change the version back to the last release version - v1.1.7.449?

@freakazoid: Thanks, you're right! My mistake.

This is not portable by default; it needs an extra step. From the readme:

"By default, the TheAeroClock.ini will be created in the folder %APPDATA%/TheAeroClock

For portable use, please create or copy in TheAeroClock working directory the TheAeroClock.ini."

For any poor souls out there who can't figure this app out.

1. Create TheAeroClock.ini in the app dir or it will write to /AppData
2. There seems to be a longstanding bug that does not show the app in the tray
3. If you want to see the program options, launch the app twice (yes you can't make this stuff up - there's no right click options, lol)

i use Q-Dir and the multi-row tabs could be very powerful addition but the tabs hop all over the place so i never know where they are

Size 42MB, Win 6.x+ only... Terrible.
My choice - old DeskTopClock 1.81. Only 373 Kb. Less functional, but still cool.

Version 5 available as digital_clock_5-x64.msi (only 64 bit), use link to website. Universal Extractor will extract. Seems to work fine on windows 11. Similar to version 4. Only difference found is 4 is in taskbar when running, 5 is not. Both are in system tray.
