That means manually hooking in WLM, intercepting the creation of a chatwindow, then modifying it in the memory, and last but not least a timer which has to change it every second! That will be hard, too hard for me!

Actually, it doesn't. You use the OnEvent_ChatWndCreated event, and then create a window with the clock on it. Then set that window's parent to the ChatWnd and position it correctly.

Well, I already thought my idea was ridiculous... that's why I looked to the advanced developers!

But how the hell can you set it as a child of the chatwindow and position it?!

You can't set the chat window as the parent window, you can only have a msg plus window.  I tested this out just after you said it to make sure.

No, you can use Interop.Call('User32','SetParent') and then you can get the chatwnd's dimensions and position the window from there.

true, but what about the difference in placement when the window is tabbed or not? Also resizing the chat window will be a problem...

The tab part is not part of the chat window, it is a separate window made by Plus!, so this will not be a problem. Also, you can have a timer check every 100 milliseconds that each window has the clock in the right place and reset it. This way, when you resize it it will fix almost immediately.

will this be an easy script to make, and will someone do it, or is it too hard?

well, deAd seems to find it easy so I'm sort of expecting a script from him

I honestly don't have time...I'm very busy, and when I get scripting time I'm working on a pretty big script I've been doing for a while now

so I'm not sure, isn't the system clock enough, why do you need three hundred clocks on the screen?
