Excellent... Thanks... that worked... but maybe you could explain something to me... why do the settings for that seem to need to be purple in order for it to work? just wondering... Also can anyone help me with the clock or suggest a different one? I like kclock b/c I have the size and the format the way I want it and I want a digital one but I want one that I can make the background transparent and the text show up so any suggestions for that would be appreciated
