[UPDATE] TimeBar v1.50 build0707 by the3sky
The3sky has just released an updated version of TimeBar that has a few nice changes along with some work in progress. If you haven’t read my previous review of TimeBar, basically this is an app that display the current time on all screens (not just standby) and can play announcements (alarms) every hour.
The author has taken into account the fact that Symbian Signed has cut off public developer certificates, and has included a self-signed version along with the standard unsigned version. While functionality in the self-signed version is a bit limited (no auto-start), it’s better than nothing for those of you who haven’t had the chance to obtain a developer certificate.
If you do have a developer certificate, of course you should follow this guide (or similar) to sign the unsigned version of this app.

There is no ‘official’ change log, but here’s what I’ve got so far:
- 12-hour clock support (woo hoo!)
- integrated audible hour announcements with individual selection option
- transparency (doesn’t work well, author is working on it)
- restructuring of Options menu
This new build refreshes changes automatically (every minute I believe) but to apply your changes immediately go to Options -> End console and then Options -> Start console.
Enjoy!

I'll have a look later tonight if I have a chance, otherwise tomorrow.
Note that in App Manager, your settings must be "Off" and "All".

I tried installing both files and no dice. I also get a certificate error.

3. Did I mention the 12hr clock?
Dislikes:
1. Still won't speak time using the (previously) supplied hourly announcements (plays .wav files okay though).
2. I miss refresh. This waiting 1min is a pain.

Ok..agree Refresh was easier...just one click. But you don't have to wait, you can 'End Console' & 'Start Console'.
@zach
Have you checked out CPUMonitor by The3sky. I find the graph much better and responsive than in Y-Task Trace utility.

In light of all of the testing I've been doing with Y-Tasks I haven't yet tried CPUMonitor, although it does look quite nice. Hopefully soon I'll have a chance to take a look. Thanks Hardeep :)

I notice from screenshots in other posts that nice blue theme you have. Can you tell me where you got it?
@Hardeep
Where can one find CPUMonitor?

Did you try setting your date back to 2006 before sending it to your phone? It should work no problem.
@ Roger
Symbian Signed ha cambiado su política y quiere recientemente proporciona no más de largo certificados del revelador tan libremente como antes. Esperanzadamente the3sky reparará la versión self-signed pronto y seré seguro fijarla aquí. Me disculpo por el español pobre.
@Mr G
Thanks man! Do you list the original author there? I'll go check so that I can update my comment here. (EDIT: Got it, thanks! :) )
