I usually get all my info from mods or the vanilla menu_1024.768.ini file.
The vanilla stopwatch pic is in the Periscope.tga file (Bottom left hand corner)
One just has to search through the menu file for Periscope.tga, and it's location to find the stopwatch application - from here look for a button.
The stopwatch would also be in the Dials.cfg file as well.

Actually, Jonz' Draggable Chronometer is not a functional stopwatch. It is jsu a repeater for the primary chronometer. It can be dragged to an page and continues to show elapsed time as long as the actual chronometer on the scope/UZO pages is running. Only the fixed (nondraggable) chronometer on the scope/UZO pages can be started and stopped. (At least, that's how mine works.)
As I posted above, I can get the chronometer to work on the attack scope page. The relevant entries in menu_1024_768.ini look like this:
[G26 I1]
Name=Page attack periscope
Type=1027;Menu page
ItemID=0x26000000
ParentID=0x0
Pos=0,0,0,0
LoadingMode=2
.
.
.
[G26 I107]
Name=Chrono
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x26020000
ParentID=0x26000000
;Pos=608,764,136,52
;Pos=33,383,200,300
Pos=70,400,200,300
Drag=true
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
I can make the chronometer appear on the Obs scope and UZO pages, but it is not functional. (Can't start/stop/reset.) The equivalent entries are
[G28 I39]
Name=Range
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x280B0000;THE CHRONO IS NOW LINKED HERE!
ParentID=0x28000000
Pos=0,0,0,0
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
.
.
.
[G28 I97]
Name=Chrono
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x28020000
ParentID=0x280B0000
Pos=33,383,200,300
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
When I change the ParentID to 0x28000000, the chronometer becomes visible, but doesn't function.
I could use the chronometer on the attack scope page as the primary source, but that's going to be awkward at times, especially when using the UZO. Does anyone know of changes I could make to get the chronometer to function on all three pages?
I have never seen a way to make Jonz's chronometer functional. If that's possible - and I've seen posts that say it is not - then that would be the best solution of all.
BTW, I've checked the dials.cfg and haven't found any change there that will make the chronometer work, either.
Also BTW, the position data shown above correct a minor glitch: The chronometer body didn't show on the attack scope screen and the hands were overlaid on the scope FoV. But that's an easy fix.
