I'm trying to make an analog clock resembling a diver's watch with a bezel that can be rotated by dragging the mouse.
Analog clocks are easy enough to make in Rainmeter, but I have no idea on how to implement a mouse-draggable rotating bezel.
Here's an example of a diver's dial with round bezel marker:
Some creative suggestions would be appreciated...
or if you know of an alternative clock application that allows for this behaviour, please let me know
Right now, Rainmeter has no way to detect mouse-dragging (other than to move the entire skin). This may change in the future, but we currently have no plan to implement it. Sorry. :(

Yes, the dot marker is part of the bezel. I would like to figure out how to rotate an image by using the mouse.

Is there a way to implement rotation of an image by mouse-clicking? For example, when you mouse-click on a part of the dial the bezel rotates a certain degree.

Yes there is but it will always be rather crude because the clickable areas have to be rectangles. You might like to take a look at the discussion on Seahorse's attempts to make a clickable volume dial (on this thread).
