Wallpaper Clock is Off-Center

Postby Neuromancer » 29.06.2012 01:13:45

I've been using Dexpot for some time now and love it.

I recently tried using Wallpaper Clock, and had it running perfectly. I had to revert to my original wallpaper for a while, and have again switched back to the clock. However, now all the animated wallpapers are off-center, moved up and to the left.

This seems to only happen in 1.6.

:dex:

What is off-center exactly? Just the parts that show the time and date or everything, including the background?

The hands of the clock all go around a circle, but they are not around the wallpaper center, they are up and to the left (I use different clocks to separate my desktops, and they all have this problem). Other than this, 1.6 has given me no problems.

Can you post a screenshot and a link to the .wcz file for one of the clocks?

I'm sorry for the delay. This issue happens with all clocks (it seems that the center of the actual clock is off).

I've attached two screenshots of Traveler and Typographic World Map.

Thanks.

When I try running the one from the link, nothing happens (I get confirmation from Windows asking if I want to run it, then nothing). When installing dexclock 12r31 from the download page, the clocks work fine.

Disable the Wallpaper Clock plugin in the Dexpot settings, then save the file attached above to C:\Program Files\Dexpot\plugins (or C:\Program Files (x86)\Dexpot\plugins on 64-bit Windows).

The solution is working great, but I'd like to add that every time I open up Dexpot, Windows also prompts me for permission to Run the wallpaper clock, so this might need to be fixed before 1.6 is released.

Thanks again for the great product.
