Windows 11 - NEW Free Solution for T-Clock

[ZXant]

Regedit Solution that works for both Open-Shell and T-Clock (w/o 3rd party app).

Tom's Hardware: "How to Replace the Start Menu in Windows 11" (and so, T-Clock)

Way down on article, look for "Enabling Classic Taskbar".

Open-Shell works! And so T-Clock.... although, T-Clock still showing in 2 lines (if someone can figure out how to make 1 single line, please reply).

(addendum)

The solution above works, but it cause problems to other Windows apps (like snipping tool, virtual keyboard, etc).

BEST NEW SOLUTION: Explorer Patcher

Windows 10 Taskbar and T-Clock back.... for FREE.

T-Clock works as usual, ALL customization and.... 1 Line (if wish).

Yes but what if you want to keep the new taskbar...

Yes but what if you want to keep the new taskbar...

Then you'd need another clock customization tool, like Clock11 or ElevenClock

Thanks. I have T-Clock and Windows-10 style taskbar

And Win Updates wouldn't undo any of this?

Linux, anyone? 😏

Ohhhh I am dying to be able to use Linux on the work laptop, I get soooo sad by alsmot anything Windows... Got here looking for TClock replacements for Win11

You could try this one instead:
https://windhawk.net/mods/taskbar-clock-customization

It works for Windows 10 and 11, current versions. Allows full font styling on Windows 11 (but not 10).

Maybe somebody who knows the T-Clock code could assist with this?

I wasn't able to find the relevant parts in the T-Clock source code to bring them into the Windhawk mod.

[jerry1970]

@ygoe , thanks for the reminder. I had the old taskbar plus a workaround and then got some TClock version working. But it's not ideal and the Windows scaling between different resolution monitors makes it crash.

I did try Windhawk but at the time it didn't have the ISO weeknumber, which is used in most countries outside the USA. But now I see it has been added it so I am definitely going to try it again.

Thanks!

@jerry1970 Well, the nice thing about Windhawk is that all mods are distributed as source code and are compiled on each system. So you could add such small things yourself with a bit of C knowledge, or even plugging in some code you found online.

In a sense it draws an overlay over the clock with customization, works pretty well. A lot of customization options as well.

The main reason I am using T-Clock is for the calendar and for the customizable clock with calendar weeks.
Is there an alternative for this under Win 11? I do not want to revert to Win 10 toolbar. MAybe a fork of T-Clock that runs under Win11?

[jerry1970]

@AleXSR700 , for a while YTrayClock64 worked but that stopped a while ago as well. I did find something to make the clock look how I want it to. My clock now looks like this and it is visible on all displays:

As you can see it has the week number, time with seconds, and the date in the format I want (DDDD yyyy-mm-dd) on the second line. I also set the text colour to a light yellow.

EDIT: found how to do this!
I managed to do this with Windhawk, with the plugin called Taskbar Clock Customization. The ISO week number was added some time ago.
