LVMTime? It looks harmless enough. Never used it though. I use the TBOpt registry hack (and always have) to put the date in the top bar and then:

a. it is always visible along with the time
b. it frees up valuable today screen space for other stuff
c. no additional app to run

Beginning with WM5 it's gotten a little quirky though. It gets bolded while the clock goes underneath and is unbolded. Also, because of the bold type it exceeds the width available for it, so the last digit of the year would get cut off. That is until some genius came up with the solution of adding a space or two to the end of the short date in the registry, which totally corrects that problem.

Anyway, I know there are probably plenty of people who still like to have the long date on the today screen, and haters like me can always turn it off, so why not?
