Inserting a “Counter” object allows use of some unique controls for this object type:
The “Clock” object type provides various modifications for appearance and run-directions:
The “WorldClock” object type can be modified to match various display-styles:
Note: For a better visualization the “Counter” & “Clocks” were composited into the displayed GUI images
(picture 3.3.3.6.28 / 3.3.3.6.29 / 3.3.3.6.31).
Within “GfxDropShadow Settings,” the appearance of an enabled
Shadow can be adjusted. Apart from the Shadow-
Color (with
Alpha-channel adjustment for transparency, see section “
3.2.3
Color Adjustments” on page 22 in this manual
), Angle,
Distance, and Softness controls are available.
For adjustment,
use the sliders, the numeric entries, or up/down arrow
controls.

Using the up/down arrows to adjust the Counter/Score. Also,
the commands “Increase (+1),” “Decrease (-
1),” or “Reset
(=0) can be used in “Edit”-
dialog for adjustments. Negative
results can be accomplished as well. Use “Increase,”
“Decrease,” and “Reset (back to 0)” buttons in order to control
the “Counter” while in “Edit” mode.
The value for “Digits” describes how many (1–8)
numbers/figures are used to display the Counter/Score.

The field “Start” is used to define the Clock-time to start with.
However, since the default “Direction” is set to count in the
“Up” direction, the “Start” field can also contain a time e.g.
30:00 minutes and “no hour,” and start to count in the
“Down”
direction (see picture 3.3.3.6.30 underneath). Use “Start,”
“Stop,” and “Reset” buttons to control the “Clock” while in
“Edit” mode.
Use “Format” to describe the appearance of the “Clock”:
%H = display Hours, %h = display Hour – no leading “0”
%M = display Minutes, %m = display Minutes – no leading “0”
%S = display Seconds, %s = display Seconds – no leading “0”

In the “Direction” drop-down menu,
the run-
direction can be adjusted in
order to count “Up” or “Down.”
Use “Format” to describe the appearance of the “Clock”:
%H = display Hours, %h = display Hour – no leading “0”
%M = display Minutes, %m = display Minutes – no leading “0”
%S = display Seconds, %s = display Seconds – no leading “0”
%H or %h = used for 24h mode
%I or %i = used for 12h mode (replace “H” or “h” with “I” or “i”)
%p = to add the “am” or “pm” flag to the displayed time
Picture 3.3.3.6.31
Click the “ ” symbol in the “Timezone” field in order to select
and apply regional clock settings to be used to display.
This example shows the same
time, but is formatted in 12-hour
mode (no leading “0”) and
displays the am/pm flag.
