Number One:
Player Coordinates and Cursor Coordinates. Somewhat simple. This is located under the avatar in the middle. There's a line in between the two boxes, and the the player coordinates are on the left, and the cursor coordinates are on the right. Very simple.

Number Two:
A clock! Very, very, very simple. The clock is underneath the Coordinate box. On the left side, it would display AM or PM. Farther to the right would be the time, displayed like time normally is: hour:minute. In the Settings, there would be an area to set the exact time. There would be a box on the left that would give two settings, AM or PM, and on the right would be two more boxes that could set the hours between 1 and 12, and the box on the right allowed you to type in the number, with a note that said no numbers above sixty.

My speakies aren't doing so well right now. I don't know why that is, maybe I should type slower so I can understand what I say more reasonably, and be able to correct it if needed.

I fixed the title misspell.

By your request for a clock, I would assume you play DROD fullscreen. You can put DROD into windowed mode with Alt+Enter or F10, IIRC, as long as your screen is big enough to handle the DROD screen (pretty much a given unless you are on a superwidescreen laptop). If you knew about this already, sorry for sounding condescending.

You can already get coordinates by right clicking; I don't really see the need to clutter up the screen with them the whole time.

Many H&S posts could give more exact hints with a readily-available player coordinates box. I think this kind of feature would be more tailored to players without CNet (like me) that can't see screenshots with cute little "just move to the square marked 1" posts underneath. So unless Mr. Big Cheese DROD honchos are really against making life a teensy bit easier for uncaravelneted players, I think it's a pretty good idea.

Heh... you still can get coordinates of 1, 2, etc. on these pictures! (try selecting Properties from the context menu)

I was working on greasemonkey script to automagicly grab those at one point. I should dust that off and make it actually work...
