I'd like a steampunk style clock that runs backwards, like the clock in the beginning of the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", except actually place the numbers backwards.

If Skarny gets to busy with the other request I can do this for you no problem. I know how to make xwidgets and clocks are my favorite to do.

Happy for others to take on suggestions If anyone gets stuck we can then collaborate on solutions/ideas Just make a comment on what you plan to work on so others know you are doing so and then can save duplicate work / encourage communications.

P.S. I have DesktopX Pro which means I can hopefully make things run standalone even if you don't have DesktopX - not everything plays nice as a gadget however.

I just wanted to say that "Full screen image on all monitors when user has not had a 'break' for a period of time. With an unlock button and time out." is a fantastic solution.  I work from home (at the computer) and one of my favorite passtimes when I'm not working is...yes...playing at the computer.  It is not unlike me to sit here for 12 hours straight some days.  

Recently I noticed one of my feet was swelling up...didn't remember twisting it or anything...oh well...back to work...the next day it was like 2x the normal size and by the third day it was so swollen the skin was cracking and bleeding.  Went to the ER and discovered a blood clot in my lower leg--from sitting too long at the PC.  

I've been using just a timer to go off every 90 minutes, but it's really easy to just click it off.  I would love a PC lock like was mentioned above, that when it locks up the PC, truly locks you out for a period of time and only re-booting would get you out any earlier.

It might have saved me 2 surgeries a WHOLE lot of pain and about 12,000 in medical bills! (And climbing since I'll be on blood thinners the rest of my life now!)

FTR, I am currently not working on anything.....  

Thanks!

Does it have to be the same clock as what is in the movie or just something similar?

RND: 

Ok, other than tweaking it to make it work if ZubaZ finds any faults and then a spit and polish for release, I'm 90% done on the full screen 'lock/idle' thing. Anyone else? I'm going to add a 'shortcut launcher' a *bit* like fences as per a request in another thread. But need more. That one is going to be too easy

I knew that...you didn't have to remove it. I was being facetious.   

I'd like a skinnable media player that will have a visualization window that opens in a frame, also skinnable, and is resizeable.

But, I guess you'll say, use Xion.
