Changing the Clock Face

Sunday, April 25, 2010 by EYElene | Discussion: Docks

Hello,

I just installed Object Dock and really like it so far.

However, I wasn't thrilled with the clock so I downloaded some other faces.

But I can't figure how to change them. Same thing with the calendar.

Can someone please help me?

                                                              Thank U!

Right click on the clock face...choose "dock entry properties"...then "change image." You will need to have all your clock faces in a folder in OD so you can pick one. Then just pick one and that's it.

Well, that was easy enough. THANK YOU.

But when I tried to change the calendar the same way all I get is the option to choose what program to run when calendar is clicked.

I don't think you can change the calender image the same as the dock.

Hmmm, that's odd because I downloaded some different calendars too.

Perhaps I should ask the makers who offered them.

If I remember correctly, of course I my be wrong, but in OD 1.9 you used to be able to change the images for the calendar.
I remember being able to do that. I checked and it is missing in OD 2.

[EDIT]
I remembered. You need to download Calendar Docklet v3 ( https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/objectdock/2007/ )by  AndreasV and follow the text files in the zip.  It does work in OD 2. Hope this helps.

I really hope that was a typo.

or you could download and install Rainlendar, Which gives you far more options and thousands of great skins too.

For some reason when I change my clock the image just shows the time as 00:00 ?

From what I read about that I'd stay away from it. 4 megs of memory being used from he says and it doesn't seem to stable either.
