How to Improve or Translate the Clock

When a clock is added to a PlayList, the NTB will simply create a new HTML file in the "control/layout_<NAME>" folder. It is possible to download this file and to improve it by editing the HTML - adding a background image or changing the language for example. Most Web developers should be able to do this. When done, upload the file to the "media" folder (not the "control" folder where it was found) and playlist it as an HTML file.

Analogue Clocks

Effects such as analogue clocks, countdown timers, cuckoo clock and so on are best achieved using Flash animation. Search the Internet for "Flash Clocks" for some samples.
