I was using another add-on to put the date and time into the add-on bar (which I have thanks to New Add-On Bar) but it wasn't correcting for daylight savings time. Date Today was the best alternative I found, though it doesn't do quite what I wanted. I would give it another star if there were an option to put the tooltip text into the add-on/status/menu bar because that is the one thing it doesn't do that I want .

Edit to clarify: I use the badge feature and mouse over when I want to check the date, but I'd like it if the tool tip text was actually inserted in the bar and always there in place of the badge. I don't like breaking my work flow to mouse over when a glance could do the job.
