People are unlikely to if you don't give any indication of what sort of theme it is, and what sort of plugin you want.

it will be a star trek LCARS theme and i need a plugin which shows the current stardate, that works with following formula
it uses cdate which starts to count the seconds from 1-1-1970

Jan 2, 2000 midnight UTC = 54000.0
one year is exactly 1000, except if its a leap year
Jan 1, 2001 midnight UTC = 55000.0
Jan 1, 2002 midnight UTC = 56000.0

the fractional zero shall be shown when there is one

i can show the formula as java script example here

CurStar = (((((now.getTime() / 1000) - (Date.UTC(2000,0,2,0) / 1000)) / 3153.6 + 540000)) / 10)

the display should be updated every second....
i hope someone can make this

thanks

If you can get the source for an existing clock plugin (I think there's some kicking around), it should be easy enough to convert the output and recompile.

Analog clock example here: https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/development.html

You'll probably have more luck finding the right samples if you ask on the Stardock news server's DX plugin groups - news server is at news://news.stardock.com

the analog clock doesnt help any, i need a digital clock source, and i already asked at the news server 2 weeks ago, no reply yet....
the source of DXDigitalClock.dll would help alot

The next (probably) version of desktopx will have dxscript, which will allow you to use javascript or vbscript within objects. You might just want to wait for that.
