Introduction

A PicWin clock. It may be a small snippet, but you won't believe how long it took me to figure out all the angle math and stuff. :/


But! It's neat, and a lot better than your average "dialog clock."



Updates:
Fixed the hand sizes. ;o
Fixed the text up a bit, made it look cleaner.
Added in numbers (3,6,9,12).
Changed some of the colors.
Added AM/PM
Added in the date.
Made it even more pretty.
Centered the clock a bit.

also it's not showing the right time for me, and the bottom of the clock is missing.

It shows the time based off of your operating system, and I don't know why the bottom isn't showing, it works fine for me. :/

The menu works, atleast for me it does... I don't see how adding a "." and shortening it a line would effect it much.

Umm dude im gettin the time on the bottom left side and its in digitial format?..Um makes no sense ti have traditional an digitial together..you could have just made it digitial and called it a day O_o..nyx the damn digitial part.

But making just a digital one would be the easy way out. :( I wanted my clock to be pretty and especially special in a special kind of way.

Ok, I added in 3, 6, 9, and 12. I also fixed up the text (moved the "made by" part to the top), and I added some colors too.

er take out the damn digitial part of the code:
Code:

    drawtext @buffer 14 Tahoma 70 20 610 $asctime(h:nn:ss)

It makes no sense to me.Add this in its place:

Code:

    drawtext @buffer 14 Tahoma 50 20 630 $date

I added in the date, but keeping the digital clock for accuracy. Sorry, but I don't think it really needs to make sense.

LOL what are you serious man? Come on your havea traditional hand clock that tells the time are its correct if it goes by the damn computers clock then its correct asuming they arent lame it fark that up.So there's no point to the digitial part at all in fact you mite as well take out the whoel damn thing and just leave the digitial clock an call it a day serously its ruining the code..just stop an think about it for a few seconds an let it sink in its a awesoem code please don't get me wrong in fact i ll rate it high but you have to think common sense here man."Rate it or Hate it?"...9/10.`-.-´

lol.

You see, I'm not doing this for accuracy of the clock, but more so accuracy of the operator. Who know's, the operator could be more used to digital clocks, so he can just glance at the digital clock segment for quick reference, or vice versa, if the operator is more used to reading traditional clocks.

It may seem weird, but the traditional clock is for a general reference, and the digitial clock is for the exact time.

If you don't want your screenshot to be your avatar you can add another image and make that your default.
