Clock Hour Hand

Hey, is it just me or is the hour hand on all the analog sidebar clocks too
big? It is just ever so slightly smaller than the minute hand- certainly not
the way I've seen every other clock I have probably ever seen. The hour hand
is usually much smaller to easily distinguish it from the minute hand.

Any way I can make the hour hand smaller so it looks normal and is easier to
"read"? (OK, dumb question, this is MS and you only get what MS wants to
give you and you can't change things thae way you want)

Personally I think the minute hand is too short, it should extend out to the
minute marks.

Its slightly big (which I assume is the first clock you are referring to
from the Clock Gallery). but its not a major thing, if you look twice, you
will see the difference, basically no need to squint, but I do see what you
are seeing.

That would work too. Something! So they are not both almost the same.

Actually, looks like most of the analog clock dials have the same deal with
the hands. After loading Vista it was the first ting that jumped out at me-
and other looking at it too.

Would be no problem if I could get in there somehow and change it. Go to
wal-mart and buy a wall clock and don't think you will see the hands so close
in size.

Hard to sell customers if this is their first impression.

Thanks for your prompt response!

Hey, is it just me or is the hour hand on all the analog sidebar clocks too
big? It is just ever so slightly smaller than the minute hand- certainly
not
the way I've seen every other clock I have probably ever seen. The hour
hand
is usually much smaller to easily distinguish it from the minute hand.

Any way I can make the hour hand smaller so it looks normal and is easier to
"read"? (OK, dumb question, this is MS and you only get what MS wants to
give you and you can't change things thae way you want)

I feel the same way - minute hand should be shorter. I looked at my
high priced, $4.99 or so :-), Staples wall clock and minute hand is shorter.
