Are you saving the theme after you reset the clock. After you make your adjustment do save theme as... hope I understood you.

Are you running a theme? To save any changes to your theme, right click the desktop, go to the DX entry on the menu, and "Save Theme", or "Save Theme As". You say you're exporting the clock object. Are you exporting as a packaged object (dxpack), or as a widget (exe)? If you're exporting as a dxpack, are you loading 'that' dxpack? If you're exporting as a widget, are you loading 'that' widget?

But you not really answering the question....... are you loading the dxpack that you saved? If so, you'll probably need to edit the script to retain the 12 hour format.

Richard, ANother way to do what you are trying to do. Create a new Blank DesktopX theme. Only configure 1 object as the clock. set the clock how you like. Save theme as, bam, you got your clock. It will make the back ground very easy to make. I know it seems stupid to run DesktopX for just a clock but as far as I understand the system usage will be minimal to nothing.

My question to everyone else would be. Is this a rediculous way to have a clock? probably, but the design options are unlimited. I ran one for awhile that was the size of my screen. Then they changed DX for the worse and I lost interest.
