Font size

I've just installed this into my account after using the original version by User:Mathwiz2020. Enlarging the font of the clock makes the rest of the personal toolbar look out of place (like its touching the page tool tabs). Is it okay if I change the font size back to match the rest? --w^{L<speak·check>} 12:44, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I designed it based on the reality of mine to have the personal toolbar at the left, so personally I would like to have it larger. _→AzaToth 17:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Mines twitches like a dying animal: is this a problem with my browser (Mac, Firefox, no add-ons)? I can't for the life of me figure out what's up with it. Anthøny 11:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Strike that; I still had VoA's clock gadget installed (importScript('User:Voice_of_All/UTCclock.js');), so the two were essentially clashing. Fixed :) Anthøny 11:28, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Browser access-key conflict

I'm not sure if this is the correct page, but it's the closest I could find. I run IE6 and IE7 (on different partitions, but same comp) on WinXP/SP2. When the "UTC LIVE clock" feature is activated throught eh Gadgets in Preferences, the "Undo" function in the Windows right-click and Ctrl-U functions is disabled. I'm a lousy typist, so this is a function I need to have, but I like the UTC time feature also. After several weeks without my Undo, I finally tried disableing each new feature in Gadgets, and discovered that the CLock was the apparent culprit (my undo works now, anyway!) Is there a fix or work-around to this problem? Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 09:11, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

This might not suit you, but I usually press Ctrl + Z to undo, which you might find easier. Mahahahaneapneap (talk) 01:33, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I just tried that, and it does not work either. Evidently it's the "undo" functionalitly, not just the right-click undo feature. - BillCJ (talk) 01:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I can confirm that this is indeed a problem in IE because of setTimeout(), but I'm not sure how to fix this at the moment. —AlexSm 04:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

One tick per minute

I have a rather old and slow computer, and I use Firefox. So I can not use this gadget since it slows down my browser way too much. How about changing it so it only ticks once per minute? I don't see why people would need the seconds? And having the seconds tick must be distracting, right?

Or if you want to keep the seconds, make a second gadget with minutes only.

Inexplicable Bug?

I'll be pleasantly surprised if someone is watching this page, but I didn't want to bother WP:VPT for a non-critical puzzler. (Plus, this way I get to bump up my MediaWiki talk edits!) If I don't hear from anyone in a while, I'll try there.

OK, here’s the puzzle. I have the little clock/purge gadget installed. So far, it has appeared without incident on every page on Wikipedia except WP:ANI. Now, if I go into edit mode at WP:ANI, it’s there; but if I’m just viewing the page, it isn’t. The clock isn’t being covered up by anything; the rest of my personal toolbar just shifts over as if I didn’t have the clock installed. Purging pages, logging out and in, etc. doesn’t work. I have no idea if it’s always been like this, or if it’s a new phenomenon, but I’d love to know why this is happening. --barneca (talk) 19:06, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
