Adding "Day" Variable to the Menu

[The Commander]

Hi there, my newest project has a day/night cycle using common events and switches, and I'd thought I'd ask if there's a way I can add a "Day" counter (storing the days in a variable that adds 1 day to the variable at the end of every cycle) to the main menu, like above the "Gold" box or something similar. Basically, if there's a way I can work it so that the box would say "Day" and then the number variable that is stored in the 'day' counter.

Or, to get extremely into it, figure out a way to change the box so it reads "Night" instead of day during the 'night' and 'evening' parts of the cycle. An example...

The cycle has happened five times now (and thus added 4 points to the variable counter) and it's daytime (or it could be morning). The box in the menu says:

"Day 5"

Now it's night (or it could be evening) of that day, so the box in the menu would say:

"Night 5"

If the Day/Night thing is too difficult or complicated to script, or too difficult to set up for someone with absolutely zero scripting knowledge...then if I can at least get the box added to the menu to say "Day" (at all time periods, instead of switching to saying "Night" come the activation of the evening or night switches and then saying "Day" again come the activation of the morning or day switches) it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Also, if its possible, if someone could also include another text box on the menu that indicates on what map you are on. Such as "North Forest" (if you are in North Forest) or a "Central Plains" if you are in the Central Plains being in its own little text box on the menu beneath the "Day"/"Night" box, please.

I can think of a few issues that could happen by just adding a window into that location:

1. Expanding or replacing the menu scene with a 3rd party menu would probably break the (variable) window, unless you construct it, update it, place it in another location, and destruct it properly.

2. Changing variable ids would involve a couple of lines of changed code.

If you're okay with that, I could script it in for you.

I'm using the basic menu anyway, and thanks.

Sorry I had some sound halting issues with my computer, but I fixed them and now its running correctly.  Nothing that required sound would run, including the rgss client.  

Here is the demo for the map display and day/night display, its commented and easy to understand.
