[Theme] Realistic Analog Clock for Homescreen

Thanks to sunnycydup

Created this thread to capture my progress in developing/theming a realistic (functional) analog clock on the homescreen and/or lockscreen. The challenge was to make a more realistic looking clock that used .png images for all elements, including the hands, and shadow effects. Initially started with modifying the CoolClock script, but switched to the CSS3 version (open source) once discovered here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

Ultimately, was able to develop using an .html widget/wallpaper that incorporated background wallpapers and overlays. It's coded using CSS3
and jquery, and introduces a "rotate" function. (FYI - the rotate function can only be viewed with Safari and Chrome browsers.)

So, this was my goal (image is a mock-up) ... and the finished version (actual screenshot)


Here's how it progressed. First pass - recreated the background clock dial from my original image, added and configured the Cool Clock script...


Second pass - enhanced the script and introduced a bordered effect... and third pass - introduced a more realistic look to the hands - still script, not images:
