Ok, I'll reply about the clock first. Get the xml from this thread posyed by "Haliken" (who was me, I changed names):

Next, to get logging to turn on when you log in, you'd need to pick a window that opens at startup, and in the main page object for it (the first line in the xml that starts with "<Page...") you'd add:
Code:
OnShow="/log OnShow=' '"
I'd recommend a window you won't or likely won't get a custom mod for. This will have to rely on your eprsonal taste, but the best windows to use would be the player window, group window, the "EQII" button window, or the experience window.
To add your own window opening buttons to the extras tab, you'll need to open up eq2ui_mainhud_socials.xml and scroll down to:
Code:
<Page Visible="false" Location="5,193" Name="Entry4" ScrollExtent="157,48" Size="157,48">
It'll be just under:
Code:
/hide_window MainHUD.Clock" TreatAsButton="true"/>
</Page>
Delete Visible="false" (or change it to true).
On the line below that you enter the text for the text label/button. You'll want to change LocalText="(Click to edit)" to LocalText="Customwindowname Window" and scroll to the far right and change (Click to edit) to the same Customwindowname Window. You'll need to add:
Code:
OnPress="show_window=(MainHUD.Clock) show_window=(MainHUD.Clock)"
To the button object, replacing MainHUD.Clock with the custom window handle.
On the line below that is the icon. This is purely for looks. The suggested graphics are found in icon_ms1.dds, which can be opened in Photoshop if you have the DDS plugin from Nvidia. IconRect="0,42,0,42" defines the graphics to use. The numbers are, in order, left x pixel value, top y pixel value, right x pixel value, bottom y pixel value.
You should add a Tooltip to the icon to describe the /show_window command used to open the window, though it's not required. Look at the other icons on the Extras tab to see how to add a tooltip.
That's about as simple as I (emphasis on me) can explain it. If you post a window name I can add it for you, also if you want me to help you mod a window to always turn logging on, tell me which window, or post one of those window's custom xml files you use (like if you have a player window mod and want to add the logging code to the player window).
