Hi All,
Effectively, SVG Icon widget grows and shrink
when rotating, but Peter Thirkell SVG Multicolor
widget does not. This Multicolor svg widget
only clips it's content and stays the same size.
Richmond, Have you installed SVG Multicolor
widget?
Download and install from this forum thread:
Another disadvantage of using a rotated SVG is that is will resize to
fill its rectangle when rotating. The clock hand will change its size on
each rotation.

Setting the resizeQuality to best should give a good result without reducing
the speed of any animation you do.

But one cannot make an SVG image "twice as long, with half of it

for the clock hand, and where the rotation point of the clock hand was at the

I am getting a bit fudgey with clock hands.
I have used my SVG importer stack to import a minute and an hour hand as
SVG widgets, as well as
a clock face.
The "only snag" is that when I do this sort of thing:
set the angle of widget "hourHand" to 90
it rotates the widget round its centre
