Does not affect clock (much)

[ardee00]

Discussed in #1394

^{Originally posted by ardee00 December 26, 2024}
I can run ElevenClock fine on my Windows 11 Pro 24H2 system. I made numerous changes to settings, such as using a larger font for the clock. But the changes never take effect (except a small artifact to the right of the clock) -- even after restarting Explorer or restarting the machine. Do you know of an issue coexisting with Classic Shell?

Do you have "Protected folder access" enabled on Microsoft Defender?

[ardee00]

No, “Controlled folder access” is disabled in the “Ransomware protection” section of my Windows 11 Pro 24H2 installation.

Can you see anything unexpected on ElevenClock logs (ElevenClock Settings -> Debbugging info -> Log)

[ardee00]

I don't think so. Here's the full log:

Disabling classic shell allows the clock to work again?

[ardee00]

Hello Marti, No, disabling ClassicShell seems to make no difference. Here’s what my tray clock looks like when ElevenClock is running with a few customization (larger, bolder font; “ PM” changed to “p”): The rightmost portion of the clock gets overwritten by the bold “p” and “5” and the extreme-right area works to minimize all windows. Does that give you a clue? Thank you! -Roy. PS: This is on a fresh Windows 11 Pro 24H2 installation done last month.

Hello Roy, I can't see the attached images. GitHub does not support email-sent images, you will need to attach them directly on GitHub

[ardee00]

Sorry about that. I'll try pasting it here in GitHub:

Have you changes the "Change the width of the clock" setting on ElevenClocl Settings?

[ardee00]

Hi. Changing width, height, or horizontal position has no effect. It still looks the same as that picture I posted. ☹ From: Martí Climent ***@***.***> Sent: Thursday, January 2, 2025 07:46 a To: marticliment/ElevenClock ***@***.***> Cc: Roy E ***@***.***>; Author ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [marticliment/ElevenClock] Does not affect clock (much) (Issue #1395) Have you changes the "Change the width of the clock" setting on ElevenClocl Settings? — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#1395 (comment)> , or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/ACTFK2A4YNZ7CG3PKQGNFMD2IUYIRAVCNFSM6AAAAABUHNWPDKVHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHMZDKNRXG4ZDENZTGI> .

This is really weird, from the logs every looks normal, I have never seen this behaviour.
I will investigate it and update you on anything I can find

[ardee00]
