I will look into how you did that, since I was considering switching from images to fonts while working on this skin.
Thanks for the info, there's always more than one way to achieve the desired effects.
Gonna jump into your code now
The key is that the outside frame is in front, and the string meters slide "under" the frame and "off" the skin so they are truncated. Then it's just pretty simple'ish ActionTimer stuff.

Yes, I see that you used several action timers.
I just need to translate the actions for both digits of the hours, minutes, and seconds... twice as many action timers as you have.
And think about the graphics as sort of a mask for the numbers.
Back to the drawing board We''ll see what I can come up with...
Just came here from a post, this is extremely minor, but in the 6digits/default.ini you might wanna add a AntiAlias=1 on that last meter. Other than that, I like it a lot! Good job

I use an inline shadow on that text and I personally think it looks blurred if I add anti-aliasing to it.
So thanks for the suggestion, but I'm leaving it as it is.
Glad you liked it otherwise, feel free to add anti-aliasing to yours.
Nice work as always! 
We''ll see what I can come up with...
Added version that can display any installed font (AnyFont ~ 4 and 6-digit versions) by heavily modifying Action Slide Clock by jsmorley
Modified 6-digit backgrounds for better display
The fade effect is a nice touch.
See you then!
