Modify the analog clock's face
Authored by: claudio on Sep 13, '05 04:56:33PM

Yeah, thanks for this one.

As for me, I don't like the window clock's digital face. So I just renamed the the file backgroud.tif to any other name (it's inside the same folder as Clock02.tif resides and I chose the wonderful name backgroud_.tif).

If you then switch to the digital window clock, the only thing you'll see is the current time, month, day and weekday (and a nasty shadow around it all). But thanks god that "calendar-style-background" is gone - yikes :-)

Ciao,
Claudio

Just a second after I did the above, I see, that the digital window clock has a buggy interface.

If you rename the image backgroud.tif and switch to the digital window clock (you might have to switch to the menubar clock, though) move the "backgroundless" clock over a white area (of a website for example).
After doing so, wait for a minute or two and watch closer what happened. There are "gohst images" of the minutes that have passed. You can see them on a white background as it leaves the minutes "distorted" and like I said as "ghost images" on a darker background (like the standard blue background of www.macosxhints.com).

Anyways, IMHO the analog window clock is way nicer to look at.

Ciao,
Claudio
