WhatDay v1.0.0

Release notes

The first release. WhatDay answers one question: what day is it?

The day, above the taskbar

WhatDay puts the name of the day in a small, borderless, always-on-top strip
just above the Windows 11 taskbar: English, in full, on the dark Acrylic
backdrop, as tall as the taskbar and never on it. It has no taskbar button and
no Alt+Tab entry. It hides while a fullscreen application is open.

Right at midnight, wherever you are

The day follows the timezone Windows is set to, re-read at every refresh, so a
laptop that travels shows the local day within a minute. It changes at local
midnight, including in zones whose clocks jump straight past 00:00. It
catches up after sleep, a clock change or a timezone change. Where daylight
saving is switched off in Windows, it keeps standard time as the clock does.

Yours to place and colour

Drag the strip wherever you like; it stays inside the monitor's work area and
remembers its place. If its monitor goes, it returns to the bottom right of
the main one. Six colours are in the tray menu: Red, Amber, Green, Blue,
Purple and Neutral.

The tray menu

About WhatDay, Support WhatDay (which opens a PayPal page in your browser),
the six colours and Quit WhatDay. Clicking the strip does nothing.

Setup

A setup program installs WhatDay for your account only, with no administrator
rights, adds a Start Menu shortcut and starts it at sign-in. Run again, it
offers update, going back, repair and uninstall. Uninstalling removes
everything WhatDay wrote, settings and log included.

Private by construction

WhatDay makes no network connection of any kind; a test fails the build if
its code imports a network package.
