You would need to create a page with the clock on with a transparent background to the page as well as the clock. The page would then need be placed on a computer you can link to from the magicinfo pro program. This could for instance be locally on the client or on the magicinfo pro server or any other web server. Once this has been done create a web area on your magicinfo pro screen/page and link to the page on the D: drive. This would then give you the desired results.

If you need help with the code I could knock up an example for you showing how to make the page background and the flash background transparent  :)

I don't know how to make a page, so I'd need to start there.

Firstly copy the code between the asterisks below into a .txt file

Then change the extension from .txt to .html

</body>

</html>

*********************************

Place this page on your magicinfo pro server [or client in D: drive] then set this page as a web area at the back of your screen design by hyper-linking to it [full screen if required]. Change the linked elements [clock and background picture] to the ones you want then layer other magicinfo pro areas [pictures, rss, web, flash] over the top of it.

So, effectively instead of using an image from the library in magicinfo pro you are using the same image but in a web page and you can then set the clock to transparent.
