I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but, I haven't been able to get the face of the clock to change on it's own. I have manually done it but, well,..........help please.

Awesome Work !! Now I have don't have to load Konfab just to keep time. Although I have a problem. I tried to set the time for India which is 5 1/2 hrs ahead of GMT, the clock goes to the next hour instead of half an hour. I changed the VBS script to read

tz = 11.5 * 3600 'timezone value is relative to *local time* (CST + 5 1/2)

Can you tell me the right way to do it ? Or will it not work ??

If this doesn't work (which may happen because I'm not sure about how VBS handles the conversion between integers and rational numbers), then just substitute the calculation i.e 11.5 * 3600 with the answer i.e 41400.

I just made it a calc so it was easier to configure.

HTH ;)

Nope stil doesn't work. I think the problem is because Sysstats takes the minutes directly from the system clock. The part of the code that calculates and handles the movement of the minutes migh have to be appeneded to include the difference of half an hour. Unfortunately I don't know any VB script. Well its back to Konfab World clock for me. Thanks for trying though.

For someone who claims to not know scripting you spotted the problem right on!

I've updated the relevant script today, and it should be available on DockEx and WinCustomize (though it may take longer to show up on the second site).

I've tested it and it works using the 'XX.Y * 3600' format i.e it's not necessary to enter the answer to the calculation - unless you want a difference of particlar # of seconds (which it's now possible to do!).

Use it in good health!

Additional update (uses images and font from Hyral's release[included]):

Now works on AveDesk 1.2 with SysStats 2.5.x

User can configure location by clicking on the city name.

I have borrowed scripts from other items (i.e., AndreasV's script from the Dashboard Weather for day/night changes, many thanks)

For some reason I cannot get this to show the right time for my own location.

Other cities in different time zones I've tried are showing the correct time but my own, Sheffield, England (GMT) is an hour fast. I've looked at the config and there was no time zone set so I tried changing it to GMT but it still goes an hour fast.

The clock in BIOS, Objectbar, Windows Time settings and in Linux all show the correct time

[EDIT] After removing and re-installing the desklet, the time is now correct but the clock background colour is completely random. Some times of day it's white then it changes to black then an hour later it will be white again.
