Some people here would like a BBC clock screensaver. I can make one Very Happy

But.....

I need your help.

I need a static of:

BBC ONE Clock
BBC TWO Clock
BBC ONE Apology Caption
BBC TWO Apology Caption

And I need a video of the BBC Balloon... doesn't matter about the sound as I will rip that out anyway.

Cheers Smile

P.S. Please let me know who wants it too -- I will only make it if enough people want it... I don't want to make it and then nobody wants it.

Thanks Wink

Thank you very much Smile

Also if anyone else has one please post as I'd like to see which one is the easiest to remove the hands from... (As I need to remove the hands so it will update the clock accordingly)

Cheers!!

Are you doing it with Visual Basic? If you're using Flash, it would be better do draw the background in Flash rather than import an image of it.

But, if it ain't Flash then this post was useless. Razz:

LOL Smile

It's Visual Basic... much better in my opinion as the screensaver can act as an entire program... So you can use command boxes, option tooly things, etc Wink

Sorry, I wasn't prepared for such a technical debate. Wink

(Mr. Dawson - Roger's Boss) - Mini Aeroplanes are up - I work at an airport - its an airport joke!

(Roger - Kenan's dad) - HA HA HA HA HA HA HA (Fake laughter)

I was being Roger with my fake laughter Wink

hehe Very Happy

If you want me to REALLY get technical then I will Wink

For example -- Did you know that all Visual Basic programs are very small, usually less than a megabyte due to the fact that when compiling to machine code, it uses the latest P-Code compression instead of clunky uncompressed Native Code?

So there...... Smile

Also I must thank everyone who has PM'd me requesting the clock, and I would like you guys to keep doing so if you want it - however what people are forgetting to stipulate is which version of the clock they want:

The BBC ONE clock or the BBC TWO clock!!

Also please could you post a reply here just saying that you want it, you don't have to provide your email addresses - I know who you are Smile

So then, I will know via PM which one you want but I will also be able to gather a list of replies here so I know how many want it!

Cheers! Smile

Go on then, stick me down for a BBC Two one then. Unless everyone else goes for a BBC One, in which case, I'm happy with that. I don't want you going to all that trouble just for me!

Nice one!

Everyone wants the BBC ONE though, however I am gonna make a BBC TWO one as well cos I will use BBC TWO - I just love to be different Smile

But Phil - can you please PM me with your email address to send the finished product to?

Cheers!
