Topic: Simple Clock Module...?

Now that the introductions are out of the way, I'm looking for a simple clock module that hooks into xPaintClass... When I came back to LS a few days back, I instinctively went straight to my old favourite, Chronos. But it's battling to match up to the background and text options of the newer modules.

It's just for a text clock, nothing too fancy.. Any suggestions?

I should probably also mention I want to use a PNG for the background, my theme uses transparency for many small things. smile

I'd probably just use xLabel to build the clock since as you said it's just a text clock.

Honestly, I didn't think of trying that. I suppose I'd need to use xStatsClass to get the actual values for the clock though, right? I haven't really used xLabel (or the older Label) very much, but I don't think it has any time or date options itself..

Yeah you'd have to use xStatsClass to retrieve the time.
