It appears that the settings for the Taskbar clock leading (vertical spacing) and color are not being honored.

You bet, see attached.

Hey Owen, this is happening on Windows 11.

Sorry for the long wait.

Issues with registry entries for Clock Text being ignored began with Beta4 and continues in Beta7. Rolling back to Beta3 honors the registry entries. Screenshots for Beta3 vs Beta7 attached.

I filtered for the wrong keyword in Advanced Settings in the screenshot for Beta7, but I caught it for the screenshot of Beta3.

Also just noticed this when cropping the two images for a tighter comparison: alignment is no longer centered.

Hey Owen, I wanted to revive this thread to ask about the Clock text alignment. Is there a way to get it centered again? I'd tried messing around with format specifiers but had no luck.

I don't see anything else regarding the taskbar clock settings being out of sorts. I do have another issue that popped up just now that I'll create another thread for concerning monitor configurations.
Debug Info is attached.

Exported Settings attached.

Looking good! Clock text is centered again I'm only able to check on a single monitor at the moment, but I'll check again when I get back to my secondary monitors and report if anything strange pops up.
