Well, that was a design decision on my part. I could probably change it.

Trond: Yes Please, if you could change that to look like a regular clock so I'm not guessing if it is one hour or the next that would be great.
Psychophanta: Yes I see yours does what I want. However when I click on UTC update it freezes the display. Might be because of our company firewall.

About the UTC problem, that's probably due to the used port, there is used with port number 13.
If so there could be done a function to see what are the ports available and then use the appropiate one.

I was trying to change the clock hands to all black like the second hand so I can go really translucent and still see the hands. I brought the tiffs into a paint program and made them black but it is not doing what I think it should be doing. Can you guys enlighten me as to what is going on here?

Well, what is it doing? You need a paint program with support for alpha transparency.

The CPU usage has now been drastically reduced (only 2-3% here) and the hour hand updates every minute.

That's better. Gimp works great and has alpha channel support. Now I have my black hands.
Trond nice job. Your latest version is much better.

Looks like SetWorldTransform_() does not work or something in PB4.40b2 :roll:

Take a look at the PureBasic-Blog:
purebasic.fr/blog/?p=196 wrote:You can still mix API drawing functions with PB functions on the same output without problems. The only thing that changed here is that GDI functions that change the global state of the device context no longer affect the PB drawing functions like they used to because the PB functions do not actually used that device context. So a function like SetWorldTransform() will not cause DrawImage() to draw a rotated image anymore. However it should still work if you use the BitBlt() API.

I know this thread is old, but could someone post a working link to the source code, please?
