Can't figure this out if any could help please ?

I found info here on the forum http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=629.0 about changing the background color of the clock with thanks to 3am and Spitzen.

So I color filled where needed and got the results. Then from this http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=502.0 post and an entry from rajtheeban I edited the timedate.cpl but it seems only to have worked in Time and Date window and not in the Calendar window.

These are the two images so you know what I'm on about.

Time/Date :   http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6471/datetime.jpg

Calendar :  http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/4341/calendarp.jpg  So if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong ... thanks

In Vista all the calender stuff is in Explorer+Shell>Shell>MonthCal. Maybe same in Win7 I don't know. Lots of stuff to play with there.

Thanks 3am  Smiley

Been through there with a fine tooth comb thanks to your post by the way. It's got something to do with timedate.cpl, like the date and time window is perfect so is the date and time settings window when I access them through the control panel. It's when I access the calendar from the taskbar that the clock background is still unchanged it's still white behind the clock itself.

So I don't know  . sruggs   Tongue

Not so sure if I edited them correctly or not  Shocked  I found 12 images in total in there 6 of those where clock faces I made new images of matching sizes for each of the clock face ones then filled those with the background color I wanted. Then merged the two into one image and saved them in the .cpl.

I thought it worked ok because the changes are there in the other two windows I mentioned.

I guess you have to change ALL the images Shocked

What really bothers me now is that white square Tongue If it's not in Timedate.cpl where the hell is it?

UPDATE [no pun intended]  Tongue

The backgrounds for the system clock fly outs ARE in the timedate.cpl file. There are 12 .png images in there and I edited only the clock face ones ie. 6 only and all is nice.

I had the sam problem in 7. I added a background in the  imgaes 5000/5002/5004 and 5006. The background has the same color like the clock background of your vs.
