I'm only using this to display current date in title, nothing more (not for running programs or so, I have a separate bar there). Putting this directly on top, center would hide the window title, since most of the time my windows are maximized. Then again, because of the skin I'm using it becomes quite unreadable if it's rendered above inactive windows, and I don't want to change the color, because the window title color fits good on active windows.
