Can the font used for the clock in Moire be changed, and if so, how?

This isn't quite what you asked for but why not turn off the clock and then get a copy of SuperClock? SuperClock works fine with Moire's clock turned off. It also has a lot of neat features (like using the monkey "eep!" to chime the hour is one of my favorites :-) -- Jeff Wiseman: ....uunet!tellab5!wiseman OR wiseman@TELLABS.COM

SuperClock works fine with Moire's clock turned off. Ah, but SuperClock has an annoying habit of not working in such things as Microsoft Word. Rather defeats the purpose of having a clock there, if you can't see it. The Moire clock is always there. It puts itself on top of a menu if needed, but I always know what time it is. ric -- ...........................................................................

.....and superclock also allows you to change the font to anything in your system, plus....it works with On Cue...moire doesn't. Plus...superclock has date, stopwatch, alarmclock, and a plethera of other options. Great shareware, if the author is listening, I send him praise.

Great shareware, if the author > is listening, I send him praise. I have Moire 3.2 and OnCue1.4 (I think the vesion numbers are correct) inctalled in a SE/30 and they coexist quite happily.

Yes, but memory is still an issue for many! SuperClock in addition to Moire is quite an addition. And for someone who _just_ wants a clock, the Moire clock (if the font were ResEditable?) would be perfect. I don't know how much to worry, but I always measure the new inits I drop in around here, and SuperClock keeps getting bigger and bigger. (And all I want is a nice looking clock...) David V.

However, I felt that the statement should have read something like: "Ah, but Microsoft Word has an annoying habit of not allowing SuperClock to work properly". From what I've seen, many things are "incompatable" with MSword (screen savers, font support, communication packages, etc.) simply because MSword is incompatable with them. Who's writing applications like they are the only one on the system? I'm not sure (he desperatly states in order to avoid flame insurance :-) but I make my guesses from the applications that seem to consistently be incompatable with others. Anyway, I don't use Word so I can use Superclock if I want. I can also use a lot of other things that people who need to use word might not be able to use. I don't know. Is there something in Superclock that "breaks the rules" such that it is incompatable with many applications? I HAVE noticed that if you are running the hypercard stacks "The Manhole", the sound can stop working if the clock chimes the hour. -- Jeff Wiseman: ....uunet!tellab5!wiseman OR wiseman@TELLABS.COM

I use Superclock 3.8 and Word 4.0 with no problem. On my SE the Word menu is too big to leave enough room for the clock, so it doesn't appear (at least under Multifinder).
