Replacing the hands in the clock docklet
Thursday, January 12, 2006 by KiwiSwe | Discussion: Docks
Hi guys, im altering my clockdocklet for objectdock and i want to change the hands on it.
Im speaking of the one you got with Objectodck, the analog clock docklet.
Does anwyone know how to do this? Do i have to edit the .dll file? how do i do that and what format should the hand´s be in?
Or is there another version of a analog clockdocklet thats easier to edit? Maybe your not even allowed to edit this one!?
Thanks in advance.

Those clocks are pretty much all without hands and just backgrounds, but thanks anyway.
Ive made a background allready which is damn nice and i need the clock hand´s to match it, alot of people most have done this since there are diffrent hand´s clock docklets around, so anyone?

You will probably need to use a 3rd party clock docklet i.e using SysStats or similar.
I know for a fact that some of the SysStats analog clocks have the hands in external bitmaps that you can change to your heart's content eg: https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=4541&LibID=29

i think Sysstats is great but its just use too much system resource for me.
desktop should be ok, but running on laptop is not a good idea..

To the best of my knowledge, the clock hands cannot be changed in ObjectDock's default docklet. I agree, this should be possible, but right now its not.

Take your pick! (Some may require update of the SysStats docklet support)
