Too bad. I was already thinking of a solution to just display some bogus text or nothing as ms during the time the stopwatch is running, and only show them when the stopwatch was stopped by the user, in effect canceling out the potential performance impact issue. :???:

That is something I can not figure out how to do. Since the submenu is not another skin.

But I wouldn't hijack this thread for this. :rolmfao:

This looks like almost what I need as a starting point - thanks. :rosegift: Will take a closer look at it later on, but it looks like a very good candidate to explore. :thumbup:
