Are you looking to allow skinning of your clock in the next version?

Hi don't think so, the clock is an image and it is quite difficult to draw the needles above an unknown image. But, may be...

I thought you beat the hardest part already by having an image over a skinned image. I understand if it is too hard. Afterall this is a hobby.

I put the same file but inside a .zip, may be your browser/antivirus doesn't allow direct download of dll

Got it ! Do you need to unzip plugins in the Xlobby plugin directory ? Also, dumb quesrin but I'm new to XLobby....there is no "install" per say only copying XLobby files to some directory ? Is it OK to setup under C:\Program Files\XLobbby ?

1: the zip file contents, not the zip file itself
2 : you can install XLobby anywhere

Thanks........so you unzip all plugins and throw all the contents into the
same XLobby\Plugins\ directory together ?

Hi, im adding this plugin to my Sharkskin and i was hoping u still have source around and could find a little time to make some quick modifications.

Clock itself is perfect fit into sharkskin and im actually hoping to model rest of gauges after it. But the blu color of seconds arm is not suitable for the color scheme so i was hoping u could make color of that arm customisable so that for example following code would lead to sharkskin-red armed clock:

Code: Select all
plugin>Xclock>clock>ffdd2525


Also, im making a bold guess, based on my snooping around xlobby, that u achieve the "beat" of the clock by invalidating whole screen. If im wrong im sorry, but lack of required ID attribute and my memories of using the plugin in the past as "hearth pacer" for xPerT :lol: point otherwise.

That is relatively fine running on highspeed machine with regular xlobby elements, but running it together with xPerT's CPU-cycle-hogging elements creates amplification which easily consumes majority of processing power of resource poor carputer.

So im hoping u could add ID-based single button invalidation as a way the clock runs. Again if my bold guess is wrong i do apoligize.

PS. Finally if u can make clock background graphics public that would make my day :)
