Being able to Customise Clock face and Calendar face

Post by theconnectionguy »

Greetings Forum Members.
Being able to customise (Or customize for my American friends) the clock face and calendar faces with your own image would be excellent.

All the best from a land down under.

Cheers

This is not an official feature, but if you're advanced user and you like to experiment, you can do it like this:
Go to Screensaver Factory folder, data\clocks or data\calendars. You will see folders: 01, 02, 03, ... - just choose one to replace with your own design. Edit calendar.ini and clock.ini and replace png files. Note though that only 32-bit PNG images are properly supported.

Hi

Could I add a feature request on a similar subject, in the clock size options which range from huge to tiny, could we have an even smaller option eg: 'Very tiny'

Also, a digital clock would be really great, maybe even with font customisation.

PS Great piece of software by the way!

Thanks! I now know how to make my own clocks for my screensavers. :)

Well I have made a page on my site that tells how to add custom clocks and calendars to the selection list in the "Screensaver Factory" software program when you go to create your screensavers. So if anyone else is trying to do this than you can go to the new page on my site to learn how to to this.

Your welcome :!: :wink:
And I added some more clocks to me list here :arrow: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/d6etdg ... /Clock%27s :wink:
:idea: Oh and could yawl please add some new animated effects like effects that could be used for flying birds, bats, ghosts, witches, butterflies, cupid; etc :?:
I know that almost each of thees would need to have its own flight pattern but if yawl could please do this it would be greatly appropriated :!:
:idea: Oh and it would be nice if the flying ghosts effect could have a fading effect.

You can choose different designs, adjust the colours and add complications to your watch face. You can even set the time ahead.
