Nice to know our folks in NY are rock stars. As AOR for Nike, we were responsible for those emails, I believe.

I believe that I got the image from the stock.xchng doing a search on backgrounds. There are nicer background on iStock photo but you may have to page a few dollars for those. It looks like I touched it up slightly in Photoshop.

The clock, in it’s most basic form, is made up of 5 images in the following layering order:

Background image (opaque rectangle the same size as the screen)
Clock face (square semi-transparent PNG - width and height = screen width)
Clock hour hand (square semi-transparent PNG - width and height = screen width)
Clock minute hand (square semi-transparent PNG - width and height = screen width)
Clock second hand (square semi-transparent PNG - width and height = screen width)

All the square images share the same screen coordinates. The hour, minute and seconds hand images are rotated on their center point to reflect the correct time. The code to do this is quite small. I’ve since added a bunch of user preferences and the code has gone from a few dozen lines to a lot more.

Hello Christopher,

Love the layout of the application.
How did you make the clock, by code or with an image?
I am starting with lua, can you help me how you did the angles for the clock?

Thanks in advance,

Danny

Any chance you could post a link to the background? I was wanting to use it for a personal project.

Either create an unlinked (orphan) page with a different perch_content variable to try out some more content… or take a deep breath and make changes without a net.

The easiest way is to make changes using Firebug until you’re happy, then copy them into Perch CMS.

Alternately, Anything online from Midnight to 2am West Coast qualifies as a preview for me.

Yes, good… I’m going to use it. But where are the preview facilities?

I started with a free theme called “inove” and modified it slightly.
