ok.. looking at the code..

Code: vbscript
'Change object name to apply to new object
ulHue = DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Face").hue 
ulHue = DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Hours").hue 
ulHue = DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Minutes").hue
ulHue = DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Seconds").hue 
	ulHue = ulHue + 10

Whu set the same VAR to multiple items, the only one that matters in this case is the LAST one. Applying it at the end of that function makes sense, but the beginning sets make no sense.

I would redo it:

Sub Object_OnLButtonDown(x, y)
Dim ulHue
ulHue = DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Face").hue
ulHue = ulHue + 10
'if hue is set to Black "1000" then set it back to Unshifted "0"
If ulHue > 1001 Then ulHue = 0

'if hue is past 255, set it to black.
If ulHue > 255 And ulHue < 999 Then ulHue = 1000

'apply the hue change to the object(s)
DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Face").hue = ulHue
DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Hours").hue = ulHue
DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Minutes").hue = ulHue
DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Seconds").hue = ulHue
End Sub

This seems to work, the main key with this is to make sure the master items are RED.
the Hue works best with a RED main image. Other than the above, it looks good.

Here is some revised code for the hue button.
It reduces the calls to set the object hue's down to a single function call.
It also saves the hue in storage so that it will be there when it comes back up the next time its run.

Code: vbscript
Sub Object_OnLButtonDown(x, y)
 Dim ulHue
 ulHue = DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Face").hue 
 ulHue = ulHue + 10
 'if hue is set to Black "1000" then set it back to Unshifted "0"
 If ulHue > 1001 Then ulHue = 0
 If ulHue > 255 And ulHue < 999 Then ulHue = 1000 
 Call SetHue(ulHue)	
End Sub
'*************************************************************
'Resets the hue to 0 if right clicked
Sub Object_OnRButtonDown(x, y)
 Call SetHue(1000)
End Sub
'Resets the hue to 0 if right clicked
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
 If Object.LocalStorage("Hue") = "" Then
  ulHue = 1000
 Else
  ulHue = Object.LocalStorage("Hue") 
 End If
 Call SetHue(ulHue)	
End Sub
Function SetHue(huesetting)
 DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Face").hue = huesetting
 DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Hours").hue =huesetting
 DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Minutes").hue = huesetting
 DesktopX.Object("3Dmetal_Clock_Seconds").hue = huesetting
 Object.LocalStorage("Hue") = huesetting
 desktopx.Object("test").text = huesetting
End Function

Thanks again

sure.. it reads 1 items hue, then increments that, then stores it back out to the local storage. not real bad. It also looks for that local storage on 1st run to see if there is anything in there, if so, it uses that value.

I think i need to add this to the snippets!

Hi Harley .. It looks great ... Run first time ...

I am not sure if this is correct for you but if I mouse over the colour changer... keep it still and just click away I can get loads of other colours too ... Is it supposed to do that ? ...

Nice clock for sure ... works well !!

Regards

Mike

That's a hue shift . .and by design.

I have a new one I need somebody to check if anyone wants toWWW Link

Other than the fact that their is no actual clock . . it works.
Animation plays, close button destroys the object. Shines are in place.

Works fine can see the clock at bottom,
Don't like the date display 7/9/8
Would use 09/07/08 if could of worked out how to change it.

3D Metal clock: First start, runs smoothly, colouring works. I close the clock and when I restart the clock, I can't change the colour anymore (Vista64bit). I have repeated this several time, but since the first run, I am unable to change the colour.

Turbo clock: Works fine (I do have a digital clock) except that the close button next to the date took some time to actually do something. To explain; I wanted to close the clock but the close button didn't react at all (no mouse-over too). I wrote this in my feedback to you, but after writing I thought I would try once more and suddenly the button had a red mouse-over and worked. I repeated this and I got a lag again but shorter this time.
Suggestion; to include a switch for 'English'-time and 'Military'-time (the latter being commonly used in continental Europe)

1 I moved the close button to the top layer and all lag is gone!

2 I am not quite sure how to add the switch but I will try

Thanks again

I'm running XP this morning and everything worked great. I had the same problem aufisch did at first though. The close button seemed to take a bit to become active.
