rouge

I must be doing something wrong.... I created 3 custom timers, then put them in the UI directory that I currently use.

I then loaded the skin, and hit Alt F, and sure enough, there were the timers. But I can't figure out how to use them. They are grey, with nothing in the slider. If I move the slider marker, the timer still says 0:00:00, and no moving slider bar appears. If I hit the left and right arrows, I can see the colours on the arrows when I press them, and the slider marker moves around, but the timer still stays at 0:00:00 and no bar appears.

What am I missing?
