make cool stuff, put it on the internet, I like it.
I didn't know you could assign real values to names like that, I'll have to look over the xml, learn your tricks.

I think everybody who makes stuff needs to think about NYE a month earlier [oct] next time,
countdown didn't go public release until just after xmas,
I didn't script school it, rune's video skins went live maybe in time for NYE Hawaii [maybe]
I've made a timer thing a few years in a row now, in good time for me but way too late for anybody else to experiment with.

My Overlay runs as Beta by any german dudes on NYE;)

But this Counter is not only interesting for New Year. One Dude from Germany ask me to convert for Birthday Counter...

Hi, I do karaoke, how would I set this extension to get rid of the happy new year writing after 5 mins of being on screen please as i would need screen to be clear for karaoke. Love this countdown BTW :)

It's a video skin. Just deselect it, or use the event scheduler to select it at a certain time, then switch to another one after X minutes (etc).
