Thanx to all who pointed me in the right direction to get just a digital clock with date in the right place, size, etc. on my Today screen. I wanted to post a small thumbnail of the screen. I have made a jpg of it, but wanted to post just a thumbnail. Have not figured out how to do it yet.
Also tried to use a special free font, called Chowfun, but it doesn't work. I guess it defaults to some standard font like Tahoma.
