Does the fact I have a single taskbar for the physical monitor make a difference?


It does, yep. Those advanced settings only work for the DisplayFusion taskbars, but if you're using a single taskbar for the full monitor, that's just the regular Windows taskbar and DF can't modify it. You could try something like T-Clock for the Windows taskbar. ]]> RE: Advanced Setting for Clock Size https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/advanced-setting-for-clock-size/?ID=fbd1b362-3696-414e-bca3-3ea02b5fba4f#47 Thu, 22 Dec 2022 15:47:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/advanced-setting-for-clock-size/?ID=fbd1b362-3696-414e-bca3-3ea02b5fba4f#47 DisplayFusion I've got three monitors. The right hand monitor is in portrait orientation with a single vertical taskbar down the left hand side of it. The screen is then split into 3 stacked splits which display fusion has as 1.1 1.2 1.3.

I'm trying to make the time bigger at the bottom of the taskbar however I can't get it to work. I've tried using those command prompts with DF closed but when I reload it nothing happens. I changed the code trying both 101 and 103.

Now you see why I say that there needs to be an explicit distinction for real monitors vs virtual monitors. It appears that those Advanced Settings have no bearing on real monitors with splits ]]> RE: Advanced Setting for Clock Size https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/advanced-setting-for-clock-size/?ID=fbd1b362-3696-414e-bca3-3ea02b5fba4f#41 Thu, 14 Jan 2021 18:28:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/advanced-setting-for-clock-size/?ID=fbd1b362-3696-414e-bca3-3ea02b5fba4f#41 DisplayFusion Ok, perfect. The built-in advanced settings only support physical monitors, not splits, but you can add the values manually for the splits at a command prompt like this:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\Taskbars\201" /v ClockSize /t REG_SZ /d 300


reg add "HKCU\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\Taskbars\203" /v ClockSize /t REG_SZ /d 300


The "201" and "203" are the monitor IDs for splits 2.1 and 2.3. The "/d 300" is the value for the size, so you can tweak it as needed (e.g. /d 200).

I would recommend exiting DisplayFusion, running those commands, then launching DisplayFusion. ]]> RE: Advanced Setting for Clock Size https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/advanced-setting-for-clock-size/?ID=fbd1b362-3696-414e-bca3-3ea02b5fba4f#40 Tue, 12 Jan 2021 16:28:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/advanced-setting-for-clock-size/?ID=fbd1b362-3696-414e-bca3-3ea02b5fba4f#40 DisplayFusion Ultimately, I want to do it for the 1st and 3rd virtual monitor (the 2nd one is the one controlled by Windows) ]]> RE: Advanced Setting for Clock Size https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/advanced-setting-for-clock-size/?ID=fbd1b362-3696-414e-bca3-3ea02b5fba4f#39 Tue, 12 Jan 2021 16:26:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/advanced-setting-for-clock-size/?ID=fbd1b362-3696-414e-bca3-3ea02b5fba4f#39 DisplayFusion Right, by "splits" I mean virtual monitors.

I have a laptop with a wide-screen monitor.
Originally, I had the 2 set to duplicate each other and I split into 3 virtual monitors. I have since chanced to having the Laptop defined as another monitor, but it has no splits. The wide-screen has 3 virtual monitors.
I'm pretty sure I saw the issue in both cases. ]]> RE: Advanced Setting for Clock Size https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/advanced-setting-for-clock-size/?ID=fbd1b362-3696-414e-bca3-3ea02b5fba4f#36 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 20:34:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/advanced-setting-for-clock-size/?ID=fbd1b362-3696-414e-bca3-3ea02b5fba4f#36 DisplayFusion Ah, I think I know what the issue is.
