Menu Request about clock size

September 4, 2025 12:30:29 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi, I would like to make a request.

Would it be possible to add an update that allows the clock to be larger when positioned on the right or left sides?
Maybe even an option to customize the appearance of the clock and the date.


Thank you very much for the product. When I was forced to start using Windows 11 for work, I was really upset about not being able to have my Windows menu on the right side of the screen anymore, but Start11 solved that for me within minutes and at a good price.
However, this tiny clock is really bothering me a lot.
Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Do know that you can increase the taskbar width which than should increase the clock font size a little.

 

Thank you.

I did it the way you suggested, funny thing is the change only showed up when I took a screenshot hahaha.
When I restarted the PC, the clock’s font went back to being small, and then when I clicked to configure it, it went back to being large again.
If you want, I think I can record the screen to demonstrate the error.

In any case, this resize method doesn’t really solve my problem. If there were a way to set the font or change the clock's font size, that would probably fix it.
Thanks, I’ll be waiting for your reply.

For the font revert back to small that is strange, perhaps, its something not properly get installed. Please try, uninstall Start11, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

As for manually change the Font and Font size, that currently not possible, However, I have forwarded your request to the Stardock Support Team for their review and recommendations. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We really do appreciate your feedback, Thanks

In the case, I use the purchased version on Steam with multiple installations, so I can also use it on my laptop. I did the clean reinstall, but it stayed the same problem. Anyway, I’d have to make the taskbar really big hahahahah, which would get in the way of the good points of having it on the right side for practicality.

Thank you very much for forwarding my request to the development team. Even with this small clock issue, it’s still better than having to force the Windows 10 taskbar and reinstall it every time Windows 11 gets a major update, which is what I was doing before Start11. That was a lot of work.
Thanks.

The font is small because there is a limit as to how much can fit in that space.

Narrow taskbars mean small text.
