Hi.! Yes,there is a possibility for this...firstly, you must download the :"Manila 2D customizer" from a link reported in the "hacking & developement" section of this site (see on top of the main page), and install it on the Opal..after, also in this forum's section, you can find a lot of Skins..Clocks, icons etc...so, when you have find and choose it, download the.zip file that you want, and copy it in the "theme" folder (collocated where there is installed the application; you will find a folder with this name) and after, open this application. secondly you should make a backup of the original theme installed by HTC (this application allow you to do this action. Check the last tab) in case you want return back of the original status..after that, you can go on the step 3: return on the "Theme" section, select the name of file that you have copied and click on "Apply theme" and wait...during the installation the program will ask you if you don't want make the changing also for Weather tab and another point..don't make a tick on this two point, and press continue...finally the TouchFlo will restart automatically, and this procedure permise you to change the skins without soft reset the PDA! :)
In addiction to this operation, you can change a lot of other parameters as: colors & fonts of tabs, browser internet, the parameters of the main page (ex. if you don't want the analog clock, on the digital clock) etcc...

good luck.!!

It "almost" Worked. Thanks for detailed instructions.

However, The digital and analog clocks both appear. If I disable the analog clock, the layout of the digital clock is totally disturbed and its useless.

any idea why?

yes i've an idea...have you downloaded the Van_de_bosh clock.? if yes, firstly you should modify manually the HTChomesetting.xml in the Windows folder of Opal..(so connect it on the PC, see and click on top bar of the PC folder Utilties -> folder option-> select the Visualization tab and after click on "show folder's and hide's folders", then apply). secondly enter in the Windows folder in PDA (wait if is slowly the loading, don't worry the PC can appear freeze for a few second, but don't close the folder)..after serch the "HTChomesetting.xml" and copy it on the desktop..So open the .zip and here you probabily find a .txt file. open it. after you will see some strings that you will copy into the file on desktop..when you have finish all steps, take this "HTChomesetting.xml" and replice the old file into the .zip..after try to install this skin package on PDA :) i know, is quite difficult but , when you have understand the procedure all become simply :)

If you have problems contact me :)

Thanks for the reply. However, I just found an updated version of M2DC which "fixed" the bug with digital clock placement. I tried it, and yes, it works like a charm :-)
