Is it possible to display a clock (the current time) during Music Playback?
I have the box out in the garage and listen to music while wrenching--would like to know the time as it seems to disappear while I'm out there...
I am using the xTV skin.

Thanks,

You need to add System.Time as a label control to the MusicVisualisation screen.

See my sig for the online manual, and check out the skinning section.

I was hoping someone had already done this themselves. I will try to modify the XML file. Going through the tutorial I get the feeling it will take a bunch of time to modify my first skin...

not really - just start by modifying one of the labels that's already there. It's literally a one-liner.

Then get a little more flash by adding an additional label instead.

Please note down in a .txt file what you do (step by step) and we can then add it to the online manual as an example for others.
