Clock on title bar or homepage

[dawgpoundfan]

Please help if you can - I am using Facade and Fizz Weather and finally have the homepage just the way I want - except I can not get the clock to show up ANYWHERE and have no idea what time it is.

I would LOVE the time to always show on the title bar up top - like it did on my PocketPC phones. I am NOT a coder in any capacity but can follow directions if someone can point me in the right direction to get either the clock to show on the Title Bar (top choice), or on my facade homepage (second choice).

Thanks so much - I appreciate the patience you all have with users like me ;).

here is the code i use to get the clock in the top "title" bar:

<plugin width="320" handlekeys="CHILD" clsid="{A2536C57-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D077}">
<shortcut width="100">
<plugin clsid="{E09043DF-510E-4841-B652-388316977A7A}" name="date_time" height="30">
<clock>
<time font-size="30" font-weight="bold" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT" valign="bottom" halign="center" mode="short" padding-left="5" />
</clock>
</plugin>
</shortcut>

you might have to play with it color and size wise.

@rb,

Is that code using the Orange plug-in?

Okay - here is the ignorant question of the day - what do I do with this info? With registry changes I use a reg edit, I have never programmed a thing in my life but I have NO problem trying anything once.

you need to figure out which home screen (xml) you are using and cut 'n paste the code i gave in that .xml, you can find the one you use in Start > Settings > Home Screen, it will give you the name of the home screen, not necessarily the name of the .xml, find that xml, copy it to the pc (unless you have a decent plain text editor on the Q) and put it in, copy back the .xml and re-load it by first switching to another screen, and then the one you want or because you have Facade just do a reload screen.

If you are going to use rb's code, you need to have the Orange plug-in installed for it to work. Natively, you cannot put the time in the title bar. There is a free utility called ClockOnTop you can install that puts a digital clock in the title bar. I can't remeber the url, but a search should turn it up.

Thanks for the heads up and the direction to Clock on Top....looks nice now that they got it to show am/pm but for some reason it shows up on every other screen EXCEPT my home page DOH!!! I will give the Orange Plug in a shot.
