Here is a little Halo 2 countdown clock I wrote up. Features multiple backgrounds and time display formats. Let me know what you think.

[color=white]You should incorporate an "always on top" option. And do more background pictures! ;D[/color]

Just interested, how do you get the other version of the clock to run (the one with the elite)?

Version 1.1 is up. I added the requested "Always on Top" option. Duh me I meant to include that option originally.

The option for more backgrounds is sketchy as it will drastically increase file size. Might add option to use your own background. Looking into it.

It doesn't look like the countdown is correct. RIght now, your clock says 179 days. On the halo2.com site it says 175 days. (http://www.xbox.com/assets/en-us/Flash/games/halo2/index.htm)

have you thought maybe they have it wrong.....

I just physically counted the days and I believe my clock is correct. But I have been known to be wrong on many occasions. So might want to double check and count for youselves. My clock goes from the current time on your system to 11/9/2004 Midnight.

just added the ability to add custom images of your own....
if you don't crop up the image square it will distort!!

Yes, I did think that they could be wrong.. And I counted the days also and they are wrong, which makes your clock correct.

I suppose I should have counted before I posted, oh well.

The first thing i would try is redownloading to make sure you didn't get a corrupt install. Secondly what OS are you using? You can email me your answers to the address on the download page so we don't have to clog up this forum.
