Edit the sizing parameters in the ini file to make the clock smaller on screen. This includes the outer shape, the dials, the 5 hands, and the stopwatch hands. Start the game and look at the watch. Figure out what changes need to be made in the shape. Trial and error the shape until it looks right. But now the hands look odd in the smaller shape and the dial looks fuzzy. Resize the clock.dds to sharpen the image. Edit all the hands in the dds file to look right in the game. Trial and error it until it looks right. The clock has 19 different entries to change and all the tools have similar sections. It may appear to be a simple thing to provide but in reality it is not. There is no setting that says Set Clock to = xx%

Most mods come about by people wanting to fix something or just to add their brand of fun to the game. To get someone to do what it takes means you find someone who is interested in what you want and has the time and inclination to do it. Your best option to fix something most people don't think needs fixing is to learn how to do it yourself. That way you have exactly what you want.
