Ahhh, yes.

Like seeing it was poetry in motion. Very Happy

Could anyone mock up a moving version for a screensaver? You could have various parts moving though, not just the hands else it would incourage screen burn.

Surely a simple one could be created in flash?

I think Martin (mdta) would be the best one to reply to this. Smile

Yeah, that as a screensaver telling the real time! You could have the lightmove accross the background so the shadow moves. And the green background, change throught difffent colours!

Wow if someone could make that it would be brilliant. BUT what if someone could make the BBC One clock, the one befor the news! that would be AMAZING, not sure how you would get the balloon as a background but it would be fantstic.

Note: It would not matter if not many part moved, as most no-a-day moniter cannot get screen burn. I left mine on for 3days! it got hot but no screenburn!

I think thats a rather ambitous project to undertake, this might be as close as you will get!

Has anyone else noticed that graphics on BBC Northern Ireland always look so much better. That clock looks great with Northern Ireland written below it. Anyone notice BBC One NI has got a different apology caption. See it at The TV Room.

No. The logo is new, but the speech marks represent the forum - the rest of the site will retain the old logo. Here's both - there's 2 differences - Asa, did you forget the TV in the background? http://www.tvhome.co.uk/Title%20-%20TV%20Home%20Forum.gif http://www.tvhome.co.uk/Title%20-%20TV%20Home.gif

The BBC clocks as screensavers eh?

Hehe I am an experienced Visual Basic programmer so could give it a go if you want Smile

But the only problem - I dont have a TV Tuner card so I need all the required images:

The BBC baloon video clip
The BBC 1 clock
The BBC 2 clock
Any other images you'd like thrown in Wink

Cheers!

Very Happy

(4:3 would be better instead of 16:9 - also TOP QUALITY for a screensaver please)
