TrayClockWClass

Can someone at Microsoft please update Windows 11 to include the TrayClockWClass function?
I broke the microscope I have been using to read the time and date in the tray.
Thanks

Not sure what your reference is, but would it help if you turned on the magnifier?

Windows 11 kills the ability to run some third-party tray clocks. Specifically, it removed a class called TrayClockWClass.
The Windows 11 tray clock font is so small that it is almost unreadable. And, there is no way to adjust the font size.
My OP was a humorous attempt to draw attention to this problem.

Hmm. ? ( Your joke!)

Nor t sure where to go with this. I have indifferent eyesight at my age, but this looks great to me???

My eyesight is poor when it comes to small fonts. I used to use an app called Atomic Alarm Clock but since MS removed the ability to make changes to the tray with Windows 11 (namely, they disabled TrayClockWClass) I can no longer use it.
The only work around is a clock gadget. Here's what the gadget looks like compared to the system clock/date:

Just had a quick browse. It seems that what you have done is the only way to have a bigger clock. Sorry.

Thanks for the effort.

I used ExplorerPatcher and changed the tray to Windows 10 style, it works!

how about the one from Microsoft Store, a floating large clock even with alarms;

Hopefully the op found a solution 9 months ago

I use Atomic Alarm Clock on my Windows 10 desktop. Now can't put it on my Windows 11 laptop. Major reason I like it is that I can right click on it and open a small calendar popup to check dates. Quicker than using an app.
