I thought the "X" closed it. I usually click somewhere on the rim to move it.

Whenever I load the game, the first thing I do is open one of the training missions, and move the stopwatch, dialogue, etc. bits around to my liking.

I'm not sure why, really. It's not as though I couldn't do the same in a save game.

You can alter the screen coordinates of the chronometer in the menu_1024_768.ini file. But locating the proper GUI element for it, or the screen location with the numbers is a complicated task. And depends on the mods in sequence that you have applied. Edit the file in the wrong place and you might corrupt the file. So make sure you keep a backup of it and use JSGME to make a custom mod with those files only.

I think you're right. My mistake. Apologies hachiman.

I preferred to fire my spreads by the wire, bow to stern, often the spread meter just spreads them too wide and it's too much guessing. I found this more accurate and faster.
