Hello,
I have created a Quiz (1.5.3+), using a secure window. However the Time Remaining is covering part of the question text. I have been searching for the forums and no one seems to be facing this problem, so probably it is only me 
Is there a way to "move" the clock. I have used the "course program" block where a draggable calendar appears. Probably the same could be used here?.

Hello Eduardo,
IMPORTANT: we are talking about Moodle 1.5.3 stable. A lot of the formatting is different in version 1.6.
The (absolute) position of the #timer box is defined in file: \moodle\mod\quiz\styles.php. You can either change it there or add the relevant CSS lines to one of your current theme's CSS files (I guess you are using formal_white?).
Current formatting in \moodle\mod\quiz\styles.php is:
#mod-quiz-attempt #timer {
position:absolute;
/*top:100px; is set by js*/
left:10px;
top:140px!important;
}In this example, I moved the timer box slightly down by adding the line in blue. By default the top position is set at 100px by javascript, but you can over-ride this setting. See screen shot showing before and after. Of course, you could also move the box horizontally by changing the left:10px value...
Unfortunately, as you may have noticed, when the position of the timer is OK in teacher mode, it is wrong in student mode and vice-versa. And I seen no way to get this right. You'll probably have to decide to choose a position which hides part of the question text in teacher mode and does not hide it in student mode.
Hope that helps,
Joseph

Gloria,
Why would you want the timer located in the lower left corner of the screen? One problem with this location is that you can never know where that "lower left corner" would be on your students' screens, as it depends on their computer's screen resolution, the actual height (and width) of their browser window, etc.
Anyway, the simple CSS solution I gave in my previous post still works. You just add the following lines to the end of any one of your current theme's CSS files, e.g. in the Formal White theme, add to the end of fw_layout.css:
#mod-quiz-attempt #timer {
position: fixed;
left:10px;
top:540px!important;
}
For example, on a 1027 x 768 screen resolution the counter would appear a couple of centimeters from the bottom of the window. You'll have to experiment with the top:xxx px size. But again I would not recommend this kind of relocation, too hazardous.
