I have no idea where to post this. I'm guessing.
The first clock was on the desktop at install. Big, ugly analog thing. I hammered on it some and got it to be digital (=good) and got a date display. But it is so tinby it's useless, especially the date display, which lacks the name of the day of the week (I have to look it up in the tiny calander)
By the time I had gotten this far (and gotten rid of the silly pile of rocks. I live in the land of silly piles of rocks) I had two clocks on the desktop. Identical and identically useless. I can get rid of neither.
The third clock is the clock I need. Big, digital, sits in the taskbar always visible, displays name of day of the week. An add on app would be fine, But I don't have a name to search on.
A reminder function would be handy. I used to have a stand alone app doing reminders but I lost it. Worked well and I need to find it again, or a substitute.
Ideas anyone?
Edit:I turned off the clock module. Rebooted and the clocks were back. If unloading a module is not persistant this isn't the distro for me.

Hi there If you do not like the analog clock, just switch to digital. As I can see you did so. If you wanna see date or day name or anything else you have to go in module settings (right mouse click) and change date format. You have even strftime function possible where you can set everything related to date format. As far as you lost the setting persistence. It is weird and looks like a bug we need to fix. But as a little workaround press CTRL ALT END after your desktop setting. It will restart Moksha and load all configs. Stefan PS: LOLing and liking own post looks odd, lol

Thank you for the reply. I figured out how to make the clock bigger. Just stretch it. Date et. al remains miniscule. I was all over t6hose setting until it finally broke. Will not display the name of the day of the week.
Then I found I couldn't read USB 3 sticks any more. They worked under other distros and Win 10. Time to cut bait. Loaded Ubuntu on a 2.0 stich and tried it out live (Did three loads of laundry while it was booting. Same story with the clock but correctly sized, some hope for a calender, very clean GUI. Plenty of tight documentation on board inj case you can't get to the net.I had the mouse set up in a flash with out the annoying utterly unintuitigve and disorganized menus (if one is not good at abstrting one should not do it) and it was a better driver. Works forr me. Scrubbed the disk and installed the ubuntu. God Chrome in reasonably quickly with only some minor complaints from the OS, (About the same a Bodhi but different complaint), Then a package manager, Then a calender app that will pop reminders months out, and the printer drivers. USB 3 sticks back in action. Threw in some antivirus, still need to get the daemon in. Then I want it to say welcome to windows 98 when it boots. (leetle joke there) Current desktop graphic not good but I'm stuck with it until I can supply a blank one of my own.
The thing is low on cute, definately no piles of rocks (yech) But real easy to find ones way around and everything makes sence. It could be improved if all the developers were given trash cans covered with chicken wire. In this way nothing could be tossed in the trash. It would bounce off. Then the developer would have to go pick it up, lift thee chicken wire and slip the item in. "are you sure you don't want that bannana peel?", says the trash can, "double dutch sure?". I bet in a week they would figure out how to program a non-irritating trash can.
again, thank you for the effort. I'll be movin' on.
/p
