clock as desktop object without using desktopx . . .

http://www.xymantix.com/sysmetrix/index.html

If you have a DX clock that you like, then you should be able to export it as a widget and run it as an independent event without actually having DX running, as long as it is still installed it should be fine. Just import the clock of your choice using import object, then right click, choose ''export'' then follow the wizard. Hopefully you''ll get around your conflict problem. Please do post back if you can''t quite crack it - worst case scenario I''ll e''mail you a pre-made widget.

thanks alot guys, i'll start working on it asap, and let you knwo if i get it.

got the sysmetrix clock, badass, just what i was looking for. one question though, can i change the oversize of the Brequet theme, like make the clock larger?

Hi guy, have you got a link to the clock you mean ?

Ok scratch that, I''ve seen it now - the answer is yes you could but I don''t think I''d try - apart from the work, I''m not sure it would present very well if you enlarged it.

However that being said I am so cherry you could cover me in cream and call me Sundae so don''t be surprised if someone else posts and says they''ve done it and its fine for them.

But just so you can satisfy yourself if you go into the sysmetrix folder in your program files and open up the Brequet folder you should see two .bmp images. Open one up and try enlarging it to the size you want just to see if it still looks good to you. (unless you''re working with a copy do not save any changes !).

If your still set on it, and need some help and advice then I would advise starting a new thread specifically aimed at the problem. Sorry not to have been more help but this thread got diverted from the original problem somehow.
