who cares about the date and time? (POLL)

liquid_smoke · 08-09-2005, 06:29 AM

Does anyone really care about the date and time being shown in there frontend? Yeah i know its nice to have it there if you need it, but if it werent there would anyone care? In my car i already have the date and time in my spedo and also on my HU and both are easier to quickly glance at the time (esp speedo).

Reason im asking is im making some skins for RR,FP,CF and im thinking of not putting the date and time and use that space for other stuff.

time is good, as some people including me dont have a clock in the car, dont care about date though.

Hell yeah, need the date and time, otherwise the de lorean wouldn't know whether to go backward or forward in time.

Seriously, I like it. Suggest you put it in the skin files but '/' it out and then people can decide for themselves.

What I intended to do with my date/time label was look into making it display the scrolling song title, but using a switch label so If I click on the label it shows date/time.

Strgazr · 08-09-2005, 08:03 AM

Not so much the date, but I really need the time. The time display in my Element was on the radio which I took out.

jcdillin · 08-09-2005, 08:14 AM

most the time it's too small to read anyways, but thats what a watch is for

dmurray14 · 08-09-2005, 08:16 AM

yeah, i use both, the time much more frequently than the date, though...

Once I take out my clock and put Defi gauges in the clock gauge pod I wont have a ugly green clock anymore.

So I hope to get a In Dash pop out that has time on it.

Perfer to have the time. Normally I use my cell phone instead of a watch but that can be a pain in the @$$ while driving. Can do without the date though.

I am not too interested in the date either, but the time is useful. Maybe you can put it somewhere where the "other stuff" is optional so that it can be a simple change to the skin file and you have either an extra button, or time if you need it.

Stupid Toyota/GM/Delphi put the 03/04 Matrix clock on the radio which I nuke out in favor of the LCD. Toyota realized the stupidity of GM/Delphi design and add it to the car/radio bezel for 05 model. The Alpine replacement radio has it but sometime the stick is in the view. Sure I do need the clock. Date I don't care and it doesn't have to be on all screen. If I don't know what date/day today is, I must be dam having lot of time. Well when you are jobless, you don't have to think about when Friday is coming

cuz everyday is Saturday/Sunday.
