    Help with custom clock please


    I am customizing my calendar and clock but I have a problem.

    I have got everything to my liking but underneath the analogue clock there is a digital clock.

    The problem is that I have changed the background to black but there is a white box round the digital clock. Does anyone know how to change the white box to black.

    I have searched for this in style builder ( I presume its just a fill colour ) but cannot locate it so any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    No not the gadget.

    The calendar and clock that pops up when you click on the tray clock.

    I know it's in msstyles somewhere but cannot find it.

    If you are talking about this
    Help with custom clock please-date-time-information.png

    It's in the timedate.cpl in C:\Windows\System32 the PNGFILE folder images need edited they are different sizes and you need to maintain those sizes I know it's hard to see but you will need to fill the square with color and then try to redraw the numbers Hint: if you make it to dark you will not be able to see the clock hands there is no way to change the color of the clock hands.

    That is at Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > WINDOW:COLOR in Windows Style Builder that is also going to change some other places like notepad.

    Yes you're right it does change other things, I think I will stick with with the white clock.


    Thanks for the help anyway.
