Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

I fixed a small issue that was literally breaking the wallpaper when it was Saturday. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Also added little planets animations

so for some reason whenever i try to edit the gmt line in the pod it breaks the pod editor?? i have no clue why but it only seems to happen when i press enter. this is probably a picotron problem but i still have no clue what i'm doing wrong

do not use enter to confirm the change, just edit the value and click ouside then use the "hamburger" icon to save the file

I think is a bug from the podtree editor

Customization! Sweet!



its wrong i do GMT-7 and it gives 23:9:33 for 8:10

Yeah I'm running into the same issue as @FallBreak8203. When GMT is 3:00:00, any time offset starting from -4 down just gives 23:00:00 it seems.

The fix for this is pretty simple. Right now if the calculated hour with gmt offset is negative it gets set to 23, regardless of how far negative it is.

I fixed it by changing the line in the updateclock() function from

 
if clock.hours<0 then clock.day-=1 clock.hours=23 end

to

 
if clock.hours<0 then clock.day-=1 clock.hours+=24 end

It seems to be working correctly so far.

thanks @The_Deliverator that fixed it
