UPDATE: I got the recognition manual fix working with the functional draggable chronometer! What I did was make it so the functional chrono works as is standard with ARB Widegui. What I then did is instead of using JSGME to install the fix for the recon book, which I think edits some other stuff that 'undoes' the chronometer, I simply copied the recon book changes in the menu_1024x768 file that comes with the recon book fix mod into my original menu ini file that is changed by ARB widegui, and is what has the draggable chrono working in the first place.
DISCLAIMER: This is what worked for me. I hope it helps but I don't take responibility if things go wrong as this is the fix that worked in MY situation.
