clock _*_ bg.png is the basic image for your own CLOCK
Here is the layer sequence
clock _*_ bg.png < Background
clock _*_ cf.png < Clock Face
clock _*_ hour.png < Clock hand
clock _ *_ min.png < Minute hand
clock _*_ sec. png < Second hand
It works also with only two images:
clock _*_ bg.png < Background
clock _*_ min.png < Minute hand
In this case, the clock hand and the second hand are generated from the minute hand!
But it works also with one image:
or only clock _*_ bg.png < Background
Then the alternative second hand is used ;-)
