I gave a go at it. There must be a bug in it.
normally there are hands built in as default. not sure why they are not there.

I would take it to Stardock support.

Make a circle.. put the hands inside that circle (in a graphic) and see if that works.
For the KewlKlock i made multiple sets of hands, the hand has to be from the CENTER of this "circle" going up to 12 noon. If i remember right.

The trick is to make the circle transparent in the graphics program but keep its size for it and the HAND.

Good luck.

Thanks RomanDa!

Its always good to know. I tried the center part but did not add it to a graphic.

I will give it a try.

Roman da is correct
also
If your hand is 50 pixels tall then you also need 50 pixels blank space below the bottom of the hand. ex..from center of clock to 12 oclock =50 then your image would be 100pixels tall

That is still there. A different plug in. It only allows you to change the size and color of the hands. I need fancier graphics as hands.

its not that you need 50 pixels below the image it has to be a BOX.

ie, if my hand is 20x175 then my image needs to be 350x350 with the hand centered at the top/middle of that box or else it moves all around. if you please look at the image i posted above it shows how this should look.

Roman DA you are the man and I would not dispute you at all but on the last few clocks I made my clocks were 140 pixels tall and 140 pixels wide .My clock hands were 140 pixels tall 13 pixels wide for hour and min and 140x5 for sec. hand .they seemed to work fine but if I did this wrong then I am glad to know .

Below is a link if you would let me know I would like your insight very much!

WWW Link

so if I did this wrong then I am glad to know


and I apologize for giving mis information!
