If anyone one like to try the sdtsporttexticon item which supports the
logos, it's now available in a beta version in the attached Custom
Clock/Custom Clock Helper version. 

The sdtsporttexticon is a combined item which consists of:
- Home team logo
- Home team name
- Away team logo
- Away team name
- Game time
- Separator characters

It's possible to select "horizontal" och "vertical" layout and you can
select if you want all or just some of the items to be visible.

I've attached a screen shot together with a sample clock style which
you can experiment with. This version of course requires Greg's latest
beta to work. The scores aren't shown on the sample screen shot because
the US sport events takes place when I'm a sleep.

I'd like some feedback if you think the current approach with a
combined item for this is preferred or if you would prefer to place the
individual parts exactly as you like. Placing the individual parts will
probably be more complex for some users, the combined item is for
example a bit easier to move around and position exactly as you like it
on the screen. From a development point of view I think the code would
get a lot simpler if I handled them as individual parts and let the
user handle the layout completely.

Another thing that I'd also like comments on. The sdtsporttextitem only
supports a switching single line row, so there is no way to do a layout
with multiple games shown on the same screen as it is with the
sdtsporttext item with noofscores>1. It is of course possible to design
several sdtsporttextitem that iterates through different filtered lists,
for example showing one item with MLB games and one with NHL games, or
showing one with finished games and one with currently active games. Is
this good enough or do we need something similar to the sdtsporttext
item with noofscores>1 ?

This version should hopefully also work in SqueezePlay on Windows, with
my testing it seemed to still be some strange issues with more complex
styles using the analog clock and rotating images, but it seems to work
for SuperDateTime screens in my brief tests.

I suspect I will do some adjustments on the configuration before doing
an official release, so you can spend type experimenting but I can't
guarantee that any sdtsporttextitem style designed in this version will
be compatible with the official release.

There is a new "teamorder" attribute available to solve the backware
home/away order in the previous version. So you can select which order
you like to write them and which separator character you like to use.
