I downloaded Tropico last night. I really like the side bar as opposed to the top or bottom and the meters are big enough for these old eyes of mine to see without giving me a headache.

I have a few questions. I am still learning about LS and am the first to admit, I have a lot of learning left to do. Can someone help me please?

Right now, the time reads 18:08. I would like it to read 6:08. I think the line I need to change is time1Text "[time('ii:nn')]" but change it to what?

Is there a way to change this from being on the right side of the screen to the left?

I have searched every tutorial I could find and I cant seem to find answers to what are probably very basic questions.

Change ii to hh and you should be good with the clock.

As for moving the theme from one side to the other, you need to adjust all of the X values for your modules. Good luck.

Thank you. My clock now reads the way I want it to. I've also spent hours changing all the X values I could find in step.rc. I can get all the individual modules moved, but the background bar image wont budge. I cant find any reference to that png at all.

Looks like I'm stuck with a right side setup.

Well, we with the old eyes have got to stick together!

Look for:
*Shortcut "" -72 0 bar.bmp .none .none !none

*Shortcut "" -72 -600 bar2.bmp .none .none !none

Change the -72 to 0 in each line.

Thank you cas.

And DeVil, if you would have read the last line in my question you would've seen that I tried to RTFM.

Thank you for your time gentlemen. It works now :)

Tutorial != Label documentation

If you would have looked at the Label documentation you would hae found all of the entries for what time could have been.
