    Hi, as this is the very first release I haven’t had a chance to integrate the colour picker. Basically it works by hex codes e.g: #ffffff = white, #000000 = black. For a full list of colour codes you can visit: webmonkey

    Hi Sam:

    Just tried out you Digi Clock plugin (0.1BETA). Its a snap to use. I know that you probably have plans for other features so I won’t make any unreasonably unbearable requests. There is only one thing I’d like to bring to light… non-military time. The plugin, works great with my site color scheme right out of the box. I didn’t even have to change a thing. Thanks!

    Hi Sam.. looks good.
    I would love, however, a “countdown” feature…
    allowing us to put a clock widget on the sidebar with a configurable title to provide countdown clocks .. ie.. “Time until election day”, “Time until vacation”, etc

    Hi Shawn, the closest thing I could find is this plugin: Countdown

    I still don’t know how to change the back ground color. Please let me know in which line of plugin-code should I change the code.

    Hi Afzal,
    In the options menu in wordpress you should see the tab for WP Digi Clock. Go to the WP Digi Clock options page and enter hex color codes for the background and text colours. If you dont see the colours change at first, try emptying your browser’s cache. Hope this helps…

    Plugin is broken in WP3. Options don’t function, plugin doesn’t display. What a pity.
