[BUG] (second monitor diff resolution + diff scale)

[mooseplus]

My primary monitor is 1920x1080, 125% scale. My secondary monitor is 1440x900, 100% scale. The clock on the second monitor is slightly cut-off, please see screenshot. When I change scale to be the same, the problem disappears.

At different scaling (the screenshot is not very clear, but as you can see, it cuts off on the right, the "am" and the year does not show):

At similar scaling (both 125%):

Try disabling the following checkbox (ElevenClock Settings -> Fixes and other experimental features)

[mooseplus]

unfortunately, if i uncheck that box, the clock becomes more buggy - it will appear on my primary monitor instead, and in the centre of the screen too (nowhere near the taskbar)

[marticliment]

Ok... Can you please try methods 1 and 3 fom this guide? https://www.makeuseof.com/6-ways-fix-apps-that-appear-blurry-in-windows-10/

[mooseplus]

hi there, thank you so much for the article!
3) worked for me - however, under "High DPI scaling override", "Application" did not work (it created an additional bug where the clock became invisible even when i changed the text color), it was actually "System (Enhanced)" that worked. hope this is useful. and once again thank you for the app and belated merry christmas :)

[marticliment]

Well, happy to see that it worked, merry christmas (though i'm a little bit late) and happy new year :)
