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...
