Just wondering if anyone is interested. there's still a few tweaks to be made before I release, but I put a lot of work in it.

All of these clocks are 100% created by me, but i did get some inspiration from other clocks. Also, I'm a programmer not a graphic designer, so if you have any criticism please keep that in mind, lol. Anyway here is a screenshot of what I have so far.

Edit: Changed picture to show new clocks

Edit 2: Added download link

I've actually been coming here for a while, but never bothered to sign up since I don't do much posting on forums.

I figured now was the time to sign up since I actually had something to contribute. I'm a fan of ricktendo's sidebar, but don't like how it doesn't blend with the Royale visual style. This is the first step to correcting that, eventually I want all of my favorite gadgets to look like they belong in Windows XP.

Perfect for XP

Very nice, looks very good

Also welcome to the forums

This gadgets will work on Windows 7 too, right?

:icon_cool: Very nice work Palmtree :thumbsup_anim: really can't wait for the release thanks

I will probably be releasing it tonight. I fixed all the bugs (I think) but now I've decided to make a zune, embedded, and royale noir clock to go with it. Hell I might even make luna, olive green and silver clocks as well, depends on how much time I get to work on it today.

Sorry man, I'm not much of an artist. I couldn't make one nearly as good as the one you already have

on topic: picture changed to show new clocks. any suggestions on fonts/colors/anything else before i finish up?

Looks really good, I wouldn't change anything

OK so I have a question now. .gadget files won't install on my system. I've tried repairing the install but it doesn't help. How would I go about making a .gadget file. I think I remember playing around with them years ago and I think i just zipped up the gadget and changed the .zip extension to .gadget. Will this work?

you need to make a folder and name like (clock.gadget) as the folder name. and then put that folder in with the other gadgets in the sidebar folder

Yeah I know that, that's how I have it now. I was just wondering if i should release it like other gadgets so you just have to double click to install

That would make it easier for Vista/7 users
