I'm in love with this widget, it's truly wonderful. Big Ben is truly a wonderful landmark, and to have it in the comfort of your own home is great! I downloaded this widget at 11:53 and i sat waiting in anticipation for te 12:00 chimes! It was worth the wait! It's nice having the chimes of a grandfather clock but the chimes of big ben is a great change! Seeing the tower darken and the clock faces illuminate was brilliant. This widget truly deserves 10/10. It's top notch! It's… a must have!!!

As much as i love this widget, i would like to give a friendly suggestion. It would be nice to have an option, 'Full illumination', where the whole tower, including the clocks light up, with that lovely green glow coming out of the belfry. Also you could have another option, 'Lantern on'. The lantern lit at the top of the tower at night indicates when parliament are in session. And the illumination that you have already added could be called 'only clock illumination'

Gary. This is just a small suggestion. You know when the minute hand moves to the next minute really quickly like a second hand does. Perhaps let the minute hand move slowly like most clocks do. Similar speed to when the minute hand on the grandfather clock moves.

One more thing Gary. If you do choose to do my suggestion. Then make an option.....
1. Move Minute hand on the minute
2. Move minute hand slowly to each minute.

HOOORRRAAAY John's Big Ben is chiming again. I know i'm weird. LOL!

Does anyone know how to solve the KON problem?- I dowloaded the file today as an update to my previous one and is says cannot find KON file. Thanks Kate
