Request (kinda wierd one)

Tuesday, February 24, 2004 by piedpipr | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I have a sorta wierd request... Can anyone make me a (colorable maybe?) analog clock that runs backwards for Desktopx? I'm pretty sure it can be done, I'm not good at programming unfortunately.

I'm certain it could be done, but the only way that comes to mind right off would be to modify the analog clock plugin. The best suggestion I can offer would be to try the desktopx newsgroup (news.stardock.com/stardock.desktopx)

you can do it, I don't think you will be able to modify any plugins, but you can create a script to do it. however it won't be very accurate.

Yes, I saw a real clock like that. It was funny. NOt only did the hands move backwards, but the whole clock's face was backward: going from 1 to 12 counter-clockwise. It was called the "left-hander's clock".  Though it wass funny.   Couold be cute ass a desktop object. Would go well with IR Brainie's broken XP theme.

That's quite odd... I am subscribed to that newsgroup and check it frequently? Do you have a newsgroup reader? You can use outlook express to access it if you have that.

You could also try emailing Martin Conroy at Stardock: [email protected] If anyone could help you, he can.

yes, do have a newsgroup reader, thats what took me so long to reply... I also had to verify my server settings for my isp. Wasn't easy to get that information either. Currently using XanaNews.
