Not only would I - and at least the 'other Ric', plus the topic seems to attract some interest - just love a counterclockwise analogue clock some time, but also, how about a twenty-four hour analogue clock, preferably with options to use only hour hand? :) (Not a new idea either - there have been the odd 24hr clocks IRL in the past.)

Might be easier to do both counter clock and 24 hour clock in Rainmeter. of course you'd have to make your own skins as well but clock faces should be simple enough. :)

Thanks Dan. However, from what (admittedly, relatively little) I know of Rainmeter, it would seem a bit of a nightmare to do (whereas in VB and within Winstep, it should be a piece of cake :P Right Jorge? ;) ). Also, RM is .NET based IIRC, which is a PITA in itself.

Sure, clock faces are simple enough. Almost a specialty of mine, being a former collector of antique and collectible (i.e., up to Art Deco/1930s) clocks. There's even a rough preliminary 'case study' counterclockwise clock face mock-up in the original thread about CCW clock. :)
