Uninstalled because the tray icon was still 10.65 version. Reinstalled the beta, still no clocks on secondary monitors.

 

EDIT, works on some skins, but not all skins.

It was fun, kinda. I did what AzDude did and installed it over 10.65. No problem. The problem started when I changed the skin. The below SS flashed several times from the previous skin, Kita, to what you see there. Oh and out of curiosity I opened Chrome. It doesn't skin it.

Well, I was testing almost all my skin with WB10.7 Beta but I did not have any problem like what you describing. But I didn't get to test my Sonix14. BTW can you check if you have some windows corrupt files using the elevated CMD "sfc /scannow". It might help.

Two things:

-You need to TOTALLY close Chrome for a skin to be applied correctly (go to Task Manager to make sure it is).

---if that fails ---

In the Chrome URL box, paste in: Chrome://flags

And search for 'Custom-drawn Windows 10 Titlebar' 

Disable it and try again.

I think I will pass as I only have one situation and this beta won't correct it. 10.65 works just fine here. Skins Chrome and Opera with like I said no major problems on win7 or 10.

Seems even after a thread I made asking for help with it I received no replies except the standard "I will notify support" Yes like that works.

I don't use Chrome, I use Opera. This was the first time I opened Chrome in months. There should have been no problem.

Jim, if you talking about the clock font and color on the secondary taskbar. I think, that font and color is from somewhere else not from the actual "Clock text". I think that font is from one of the taskbar button states. (need to confirm it). So I don't think purge and reinstall will make any different. But as usual, I might be wrong.    

Edited in : Yup, as suspected, that color is from taskbar button text for Normal state. Change that and the secondary taskbar color also change. Hmm hope it can be change to "clock text" and allow the tray section image be included on the secondary taskbar too..

Basj, shouldn't the clock text on the secondary use the same color as the clock text on the primary? Which is white.

EDIT:

Jaz, I run 3 monitors. What you said only changed it for the monitor with focus, the other stayed black until I moved my cursor to that screen and clicked it.

 

I changed all the button text states to white and now it works, but if I used large buttons, (which I don't) it would look terrible on the buttons.

 

I think Stardock needs to find a solution.

I know, it should, but somehow it is not for this one.
