never say never. I am witness and it is true!

I didn't say it's impossible, I just said I never witnessed such a thing. But definitely surprize me.
Can you post a link where the same version of the screensaver can be downloaded? I assume might be important to have the exact same version as you.

FYI - I posted the code only because it has been modified from the orignal, fwiw.

no, no difference - thx for the suggestion.

Thanks for trying. Sorry for the delay in responding too.

thx 4 reply

from the developer of gPhotoshow : " ... it is possible the issue is related to OpenGL, try the DX version, maybe rainmeter works better with it."

I installed the DX version and this issue is resolved. However, their OpenGL version has additional features not in the DX version, some of which allow me to duplicate the Illustro clock. TBH i have no idea what OpenGL and DX mean. Kudos to the gPhotoshow developer for providing multiple versions.

My bad - The DX version does have plugin ability but I decided to stay with the OpenGL. I discovered a feature that lets me place an Illustro Clock equivalent onto the screensaver. It only lacks the display of the seconds but I can live without it.

Thx all
