Day of the week display on vertical taskbar

from Stardock Forums

Hello. I insta-bought Start11 when I finally upgraded to Win11 and found to my horror it didn't support vertical taskbar! So good to have it back, but a question, if I may...

In Win10 (and 7 if I recall), if you widened the vertical taskbar just enough it would add the day of the week (text) as a third line in the time and date display. I believe it would have done the same with a horizontal task bar if you would stretch it upwards, but I never used that. Looks like this...

In Win11 with Start11 I don't get this behavior. Is there a way to enable it, or it's just not supported? If the latter, might that be a not supported yet - i.e. possible in the future?

By the way, I do know you can achieve this to some degree by customising your regional settings, date format to include the day of the week (adding 'dddd' to the format string) but that places it in the same line as the date. That would be OK for horizontal taskbar, but it doesn't fit in a vertical taskbar.

Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Unfortunately, you can only have day appear next to the date. Not on the 3rd line as appear in Windows 10. I believe this is Windows 11 limitation.

Thanks for the response. Great if it could be added in future, but for now I could just add the shortened day to the date line as above, or ya know, just know what day it is. :)
