Chrome has a built-in feature that hides the taskbar when you’re not using it. This is great for keeping your work area clean and organized, but it can also be a bit of a pain to get used to. Here’s how to view the time & date in Chrome when hiding your taskbar:
- Open Chrome and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the window. This will open a menu with options like “Show taskbar” and “Hide taskbar.”
- In “Show taskbar,” select “Hide taskbar on startup.”
- In “Hide taskbar on startup,” select “Always hide task bar.”
A Look at Date Today with Different Themes
This extension does one thing and does it well…it provides you with an “active icon” clock that will let you view the time and date in two fashions. The first is by hovering your mouse over the “Toolbar Clock Button”…
And the second is by clicking on the “Toolbar Clock Button” to view an enlarged version. Here you can see the extension in use with five different themes to get an idea of how it might look with the theme that you are currently using. It does stand out very nicely with brighter or darker colored themes.
Conclusion
While this extension is obviously not for everyone it will make a nice (and useful) addition to Chrome for those who prefer keeping their Taskbar hidden.
