PLAIDVESTSOFTWARE  Thanks for the kind words about the low memory resources required by MyMenuDate.

The background color is indeed an option. It can be disabled to use the standard Mac colors.

The free trial is a great way to see if MyMenuDate is what you are looking for. Most people find it's nearly unlimited configuration options to be very beneficial.  
(Version 1.7.1)

PLAIDVESTSOFTWARE  Yes, there are many menu clocks for the Mac, but MyMenuDate provides the most flexible display options including virtually unlimited date, time, color, font, and size options.

We feel that MyMenuDate offers the best customization options at a very low price.

Just try it for yourself and see if MyMenuDate is what you are looking for.  
(Version 1.4)

PLAIDVESTSOFTWARE  Thanks for your feedback. MyMenuDate offers a different experience than other menu apps. MyMenuDate offers a fully customizable date and time display within the menubar so that you can pick the format you want to see.

This allows a quick-glance experience instead of the more application-based MenuCalendarClock app.

We've kept the price low to reflect the fact that MyMenuDate is focused on a single task - to provide the most flexible menu date clock/calendar display for the Mac including background/foreground color selection, font selection, and font size.
