These items display the
current time and date in a variety of formats.
Working with
clock items: ¥ To create a clock, click the 'New Item' button in the 'Items' tab and choose 'Clock' from the popup menu, or choose 'New Clock' from the 'Items' menu. ¥ To change the clock's type, select it and choose a new type from the 'Type' popup menu in the 'Items' tab. EvoCam supports Internet Time, which divides each day into 1000 'beats' (one beat is equivalent to 1 minute 26.4 seconds) and is displayed in the format '@000' through '@999'. Internet Time is the same no matter what time zone you live in, and is based on a meridian running through Swatch's headquarters in Biel, Switzerland, in the Central European Wintertime time zone. For more information on Internet Time, see http://www.swatch.com. Note: This feature is available only on Mac OS 9.0 and later. ¥ To change the font, style, size or color of the clock, select it and use the controls in the 'Items' tab. ¥ To set the clock's background color, check the 'Filled' checkbox in the 'Items' tab, then click the color patch next to the checkbox to choose the fill color. ¥ To set the clock's shadow color, check the 'Shadow' checkbox in the 'Items' tab, then click the color patch next to the checkbox to choose the shadow color. ¥ To change the clock's alignment, click the left, center or right alignment
buttons. This is useful because clocks resize depending on the amount
of text to be displayed, which varies as the time and date changes. Use
the alignment to specify which edge of the clock is anchored. For example,
a clock on the right side of your image should be anchored on its right
edge and grow towards the left, so you should click the right alignment
button. |
