Add hour markers to the analog menu bar clock
Authored by: MJCube on Aug 25, '05 10:20:31PM
Beautiful mod. Many thanks! And the clock face is even transparent, so it doesn't interfere with a skinned menubar.

I accomplished the change quickly, painlessly, and entirely with the GUI (no command line) thus:

  1. Go into the Clock.menu package and drag the original 2 TIFFs somewhere else to make a backup (they will copy, not move)
  2. Drag the new TIFFs to replace the ones in Clock.menu
    • Option-drag to copy and leave the originals in the mod folder
      (Since my HD is partitioned, they copied for me without the Option key)
  3. A dialog says that Clock.menu cannot be modified but offers admin users an option to authenticate
  4. Answer the usual prompts to replace the files with the same names
  5. Enter your admin password when prompted
  6. Once they're in place, stop and restart Clock.menu from Date and Time System Prefs
