First of all i have to thank jsmorley for this: http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=6334
seriously i love you man
i was thinking about making a clock with that kind of "seconds", since i'm a total newbie about rainmeter coding, in the past like in this time i was usual to mess with the others code for making something for myself, the most of the times i drop the "projects" since i'm kinda slow, and lazy 
and sometimes i lose interest in the skin that i started so....but anyways i don't want to bore you too much; just THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was totally stuck after many research around the web, and in this forum too, but thanks to google as well i found your awesome topic and it saved me, so after 1 day an half of "working" this is the result at the moment:
it's based on a Sniper Rifle Scope from Battlefield 3:
probably it could look very primitive for the most of people, but i was searching to reproduce almost exactly the crosshair of the scope, so i changed the number of the scope with the clocks and the date, also i have to thank macro-love the creator of Pixellance Theme cause thanks to his code i was able to add the world clock and the date on this one.
I'm opening this topic not just for sharing , since i don't think is anything special to share, ( but i'm still very proud of myself after many efforts
) so i'm looking for a little but precious help, i am trying to add a "background image" to this "clock" but when i add it the result is this:
i tried to find something wrong in the code, but i was unable to fix it, and as you can see the "Lens" is cropped on the left-top corner, so i hope that someone could give me a hand, thank you in advance, and feel free to write me any kind of constructive critique, or advice that might help me in this skin.

Edit:
Confused Explanation of the Numbers:
Hmmm, well if you could, can you package up what you've got and attach it to a reply. Without all the images I can only guess at this point. If I had everything your working with I may be able to spot something. Otherwise an expert would have to chime in.
