Custom Manila 2.5 flipclock request?

[NCX Designs]

I would make a custom clock myself if i knew how to, but at the moment, every atempt at doing so has ended in failure.

So i was wondering if anyone can make a Manila 2.5 flip clock using the "DS-Digital" font and the following example:

search for a customt 2.5 manila clock, most likely cmylxgo has a few out, download the cab and extract it with wince cab manager, check the file names of the files extracted and copy them from your devices /windows folder to ur pc, use the cfcgui manila editor and edit away....and if u dont mind please share the filenames too as ive been meaning to do this as well but been so busy with work. if u do make a working clock plz share too

i'm kinda in the same boat myself and i just don't have the time to learn something like this when i'm really only good at graphics design, i would appreciate anyone's help if they can make one for me, again, i can provide the graphics, fonts etc.

If you wanna provide me with the graphics and fonts you want I'll put one together for ya'. Or I can just make one that looks like the one in the first post, if that's exactly what you are after. Just let me know.

yes, the example in the first post is what was hoping to get, it doesn't have to be exact, grey or black for the flip background

the flip backgrounds i have seem damaged since there slightly distorted at the top edges, i don't know if its supposed to be that way or not
Note: for some reason i cannot attach the numbers .png because it keeps changing it to a .jpg and taking the transparent coding away, so i have it on my photobucket

I was able to get the numbers to work without different sizes, it not only looks better but its more uniform that way

best way to do it is to use the original numbers in manila as a template and use photoshop to do your numbers over the originals as a new layer so you can size and space them better, this is how my version of the digital font turned out, with help from Santod i was able to eventually get it going on my own, i just need to figure out how to cab files
also, be sure they'll also fit inside the flip clock or they'll go off the edge or over lap one another, use font's that will look best and try to avoid the "fat" fonts. Just my opinion, Santod may have more advice on this since he's more familiar than I am/

Note how the clock on the red mod has to be small numbers since there wider, same goes for the blue one







Sorry, for some reason the scaler on the thread editor didn't save the shrunk size, sorry for the large screens

I see you are using photobucket. I have not used that in quite some time but they probably have a resize option. If not, use tinypic. I resize all of my screenshots to 240x400 and it really helps the flow of your post. Also you can do 4 screenshots on one line this way.

Good work on the clocks btw.
