In "Settings -> Display -> Clock SIze" I can set "Large Clock".
In this mode the clock overlaps with Alarm and Date labels.
How to tweak layout_main.xml in order to shift the "Large Clock" few pixels up?

Use this to edit your layout_main.xml which is in TPA > SYSTEM > LAYOUT.

SELE - Sony Ericsson Layout Editor by codeclaw. Fairly easy.

I've tried this but there seems to be an issue, perhaps specific to C901 or DB3210.
I can't open the layout file. Here is a snippet of SELE log:

[12:12:47:46] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[12:12:47:46] Layout loaded in 171 milliseconds.
[12:12:47:46] Error while loading layout, unsupported/corrupt layout file
[12:12:47:78] Error in module [bu_load_Click]. Error message is as follows:
[12:12:47:78] Index was outside the bounds of the array.
[12:12:47:78] Source:
[12:12:47:78] PureResources

I got this error on NON-MODIFIED layout_main.xml.

"Sony Ericsson Layout Editor" is a really convenient application (thanks to codeclaw) but I do prefer manual xml tweaking. So, any low level info concerning my question will be appreciated!

This appears to be a known issue as reported on CodeClaw's support forum. A new version is under development.

I found the answer. For anyone who is interested:
layout_main.xml, line 571:

Old value:

<attr value="0"/> <attr value="240"/> <attr value="177"/> <attr value="277"/> <attr value="0"/> <!-- L 24h time -->

New value:

<attr value="0"/> <attr value="240"/> <attr value="138"/> <attr value="238"/> <attr value="0"/> <!-- L 24h time -->

those are all co-ordinates X1,X2 and Y1,Y2
like a square box.
and the maximum screen resolution is 240x320
the values cannot exceed 240 and 320. ya it can but the element will go out the screen.
u can use -ve values as well.
in order to fit the elements into the position we can use the exceeded or -ve values.

What is "-ve"?
