The newest  menu clock (MenuClock 101, or something like that) is
great and does, indeed work fine on a Mac II.

However (knew that  was coming, didn't you), when the menu bar is
other than  white,  the  menu  clock's numerals are enclosed by a
rectangle of white.

Is it possible  to write the time numerals to the menubar using a
mode that will matte  the  numerals over the menubar, rather than
creating the white rectangle?

Additionally, instead of just writing  them  in  black,  why  not
assume menu bars of varying colors and perhaps write the numerals
in the INVERSE of the background color,  thereby guaranteeing that
they will always be visible?

Always another mod...
