    Need custom clock for 11 year old boy with brain cancer


    Hi everyone,

    My son's classmate who battled leukemia as a toddler now has brain cancer. He had his second 7-hour brain surgery just today.

    We have purchased a netbook for him and I want to "trick it out" with a custom Lego theme. I have wallpapers and made some Lego cursors. He especially likes Lego Star Wars.

    I would love a Lego clock and started on it, but I'm afraid it's beyond my abilities. I was hoping someone could knock one out for me quickly. The laptop arrives tomorrow and I hope to have it ready by this weekend.

    Attached is the clock face I hoped to use. I would like to add this option to the clock gadget without losing the 8 clocks that are currently there. I can supply the Photoshop file for the clock face if it's needed. I would prefer that numbers are added to the clock as this is a young boy and it will help him tell the time. I think black hands would show up the best, it should be easy to read.

    His OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    Anyone who has a big heart out there who could help out with this little project to make a young boy smile, I would so appreciate it!

    Welcome to the forum,

    I'm sorry to hear about the young boy, that's a wonderful thing you're doing.

    I'm sure you'll have a custom clock as soon as the GFX Pro's see this.

    Thank you so much! I've been struggling and just thought of posting here. Anything that the folks here can contribute to a Lego theme would be welcomed so much!

    You're welcome, I was looking to see if any are online now but didn't notice any.

    I did find this for you to have a look at though,

    Yes, that's how I found this forum. I'm not talented enough to follow the instructions, though. :)

    Done, do you know how to install it or will you need a little help?

    Thank you so much! I've never installed the clock before so I might need some help. Will it override the clocks that are currently there?

    The laptop should arrive today and I will try to install it. This will be my first experience with Windows 7.

    Will the clock have numbers on the face, or do I need to add them?

    It should go in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets
    AppDate is hidden This will show you how to make it unhidden use option one step three File and Folder - Hide or Unhide
    unless I did something wrong I don't see numbers but it is a good-looking clock here's a screenshot.
