I'd like to be able to retrieve the date and time into the program, but I don't see it in the documentation. I'd like to be able to do things, such as change the background based on the time of the year the program was launched, compute a Star Trek stardate, and other things.

Just bought the program yesterday and I must say it's awesome.

Welcome BeyondtheTech:
Glad that you decided to purchase GE. It is a great program.

As far as your time problem goes, your might investigate the C programming time() function.
Something like:
time_t myvariable;
myvariable = time((time_t *)NULL);/*Gets the system time and puts it
into '"myvariable"as "calender time"*/

I haven't tried using this yet so I'm not positive it will work for you, but you might 'fool around' with it and see.

You may also be able to use GE's built in "Create Timer", but I'm not sure that would solve your problem...

Is not possible get the system time in current version.
I will put this in my task list.
