png Clock Digits

This may of been asked but i can't find it so..

Is there currently any way to use images to represent clock digits instead of just using system fonts.

i know there's flash clocks available but that method is limited unless you do flash which i don't.

It would be nice to have an image of 0 to 9 that can be mapped and called from in the way that rainlender does for example.

You don't have to DO FLASH, meaning a flash skin? You can embed a small flash movie in any skin. Here is a clock I made for my skin.

Yeah i like that but again i'm no flash guy,and if that swf is included in a skin it can't be changed by the end user.

Does anybody know of a small footprint clock app that can do this,AI maybe?

A lot of skinnable apps work this way,is it really hard to impliment?

Bit gutted really as i thought this might get a few more responses but thanks MGD.

Well a simple clock plugin that breaks down the time down to individual chharacter labels would do it.

Also I think you can probably manipulate strings/labels with one of Blues plugins.

Then you might be able set a loading of an image byvar.

Good point E,lol.

Yeah i'm pretty sure some one here has the answer,i've lost touch with rr skinning since GDI+ and byvar/setvar/whatthehellsavar arrived.
