Hi.

I made clock in photoshop, and I want to put it on my litestep theme but I don't know how to make clocks in litestep... And this is analog clock...

Ofcourse I have a .psd file, where is (in other layers)

border of clock
background of clock
minutes hand
hours hand
date block

If this is possible, and anyone knows how to do this, and can do this I'll send .psd :)

Thanks in advance

I think there is an analog clock module out there...

maybe Rainlendar also

You should have a look at Vendicator's clockwork-0.62i module. It's really not that difficult to set up.

West, you're helping me again :)

It works, but:
when background it's .png I get this:

I tried with .bmp but... no...

Are you using FF00FF for your transparent areas?

please read my post again...

it's .png, so no pink color, but transparent background

I tried with .bmp - but it is worse then now

Read your post again for what? I asked if you were using ff00ff for the transparent areas.

Posted by member 333819 on 2006-09-17 06:47:33 link

no - i'm using ff00ff for transparent areas, because it is .png with TRANSPARENT background... it is NOT .bmp

Maybe in other way...
How to turn on alpha map in this clock?

You realize you can use magic pink in a png, right? Have you tried that for the areas you want to be transparent?

Posted by member 333819 on 2006-09-17 15:41:51 link

ok... sorry

but this image has outer glow, and it didn't work :(

I think the best will be, to turn on alpha blending, but how? :)

I don't see a direct option for that, but are you using transparency compatible clock hands? 'box' or 'triangle' for example. Might matter... dunno.

Posted by member 333819 on 2006-09-18 10:47:02 link

I use 'triangle' but not using transparency (alpha) for hands.

I made image with background from wallpaper, but it fits only in one point :) so still haven't fix this problem...

I have one more question, how to add image OVER clock? I want to put those white, transparent element on top-left of clock OVER it, so it do what it must do :)
