Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/444

Originally assigned to: @NickeManarin on GitHub.

Feature: One alternative to adding a time code progress bar would be the actual time (and date) of the recording live.

Why? I occasionally submit bug reports using ScreenToGif just to make sure I everyone sees just exactly what I did to cause an issue. This would primarily help with showing either a process failed because it was run at a certain time or let developers/admins explain why it failed (e.g. server was offline, Internet was down, etc.).

I got the idea from a ShareX request: https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX/issues/3782 ... and there's also a static version of this for just any old Windows title bar: http://www.whisperingpinessoftware.com/tbdt.html (freeware).

Good idea, but maybe there should be options for time format and time zone (it should also display the time zone)

Multiple tech support people I work with are in another time zone. I didn't think of that. Good suggestion.

Done!

It will support all kinds of formats available right now in the .Net Framework.
You can display the end time of the gif too.
