Making a clock move with a layer

[mas3222]

I looked through the SVG thread and found a lot of useful stuff and thought I would be complete but my addiction to themes (I have five I am going to post in the near future) is driving me crazy and now want to make a clock move with the layer I have my hidden dock on. I know how to hide the clock using the SVG but how do you add the custom clock in Composer. My theme idea has the clock move like StaticFXs does in his example in the SVG thread. Hope someone can help me out.

if you are using the new theme builder (sp1) then it will no longer work because you cannot hide or "hit" the clock like this.

hide the clock (i think this is the clock?) lol

<set xlink:href="#banner-display-home" attributeName="display" to="none" begin="0"/>

ad this to your layer

	<image id="O_clock"
      x="-54"
      y="218"
      width="105"
      height="22"
      xlink:href="x-object:/CurrentDateTime?clocktype=time&amp;width=105&amp;height=22&amp;font-family=Arial_Black&amp;font-style=bold&amp;font-size=18&amp;fill=0299FF&amp;align=center&amp;altFont=BBMillbank&amp;ampmSize=18"/>

remember to adjust sizes & fonts accordingly...

Thanks StaticFX it worked perfectly. I didn't use the first code you posted at all and only used the second one but didn't get a single error or nothing and it functioned perfectly both on the simulator and my phone. Thanks again!

no problem. Just be careful of the "clock" button becoming huge. Had that happen (trying to do a landscape home with it)

i used this:

<set xlink:href="#hs_time_switchgroup" attributeName="display" to="none"   begin="ShowIcons.focusin"/>

to turn off the clock button when its moved... then turning it back on when it returns to the original location. works great.
