Split from this thread.

No problems for me so far. Can't say I'm much of a fan of the shortened date on the Taskbar. I'd have thought 26/11/24, UK format, would be better if being shortened at all.

    YES! So, tell me where or how in Canary IB, please? Seems I hadn't looked well enough (for it) 😂

    But aside from that, geeez, seems I had bit of a memory lapse 🙄😕😖🤣 I had done it with Windhawk in my retail 11. I could be rid of AM/PM w/ that, also. I'd really prefer a 24hr but that is not offered. I've gone back to show Time & Date 🤣 Go ahead, call me silly, confused or forgetful; hopefully this was an isolated incident 🤞

    I will, still, take another look in Canary IB. Unless you did it there w/ Windhawk 😉 (doubt it)

    Oh, and I never mentioned it, but some time ago, not too long ago, I notice Hyper-V and Hyper-V Manager have taken on Dark Mode.

    Cheers,
    Drew

    I don't use WindHawk.

    Just the Control Panel, these are the options for the "Short date", different choices for Canada. 😉

    Same for any Build not just insider.

    My comments about the date/time stuff, after reading your (plural) remarks:

    In my retail 11 I had modified both w/ Windhawk. Prior to that, nor w/ that, did I add seconds. The abbreviated does not thrill me; I don't see any big space saving. I do agree I would have been happy to have a day/month/year format, but that does not seem to be available w/ anything. All this same stuff IS coming to retail as a CFR announced in KB5046740 of Nov. 21st. Anyway, I have ended up just not showing the date & time; can easily live w/out it and that does (for me) save space and tidy up MY Sys Tray. I am ok having the bell.

    Cheers,
    Drew

    Is this what you are looking for?
