great, thanks for the help

here''s the theme i installed, maybe it will help.

I analized it and can't really see what changed.
I checked C:\Program Files\Winstep\Themes\eminence\ there's nothing there anymore.

Note: the reference of clock and date in file eminence.wsc i think has to do with some gadget on the desktop and not with the clock or date on the taskbar.

I should say that the problem didn't appear after I installed the theme. It appeared after I restarted the system. The problem here is that I don;t know for sure that the theme is responsible for this change because after I installed nexus I installed the theme(without any restart) and after I restarted, it changed. So it could be from the program as well.

Let's try some obvious things:
For example change theme to Windows 7 default themes, try classic theme...

ok, how about trying to reinstall the video card driver + utility?

 

[alexzutzu]

I tried classic theme and windows 7 basic, restarted, still the same.

Hi, do the change to dd mm yy and then.Turn off your pc, don't press Restart, press Shutdown, wait for a minute or two after
it shuts down and then restart it.

hello all
i have a little bit of a problem.
i installed nexus and a theme from it and now my clock is not showing the day of the week even though i removed nexus. i think it's got something to do with the font size or the font it self. any ideas on how to make it like before?

i uploaded the befoare and after pictures.
Thanks.

do you mean nexus or nextstart. the nexus clock has never had the date. now the clock gadget that comes with nexus or nextstart i believe has the date.

this one
it doesn't really matter what the gadget does because it cannot influence the taskbar.

Right click on the Taskbar and choose properties/ Taskbar Use Small Icons/ Apply.

that is already selected. it's been selected since I installed Windows.

Okay, Here is my input -
Click on the date and time button in taskbar, then on 'Change date and time settings'. On that window that comes up, click on 'Change date and time', then 'Change calendar settings'. Now at the bottom of this window, click on 'Reset'. This brings it back to defaults, so no day is showing on the taskbar. Reselect the options you want, and press OK on all the date and time windows. See if this brings back the right format.

Hope this helps,

Dom.

I did this before, tried it again now and it didn't work(again). I really think we're running out of options.

Last ditch, try this ~
Type 'cmd' into the start menu search, and then press 'Ctrl' + 'Shift' + 'Enter'.
Accept the UAC prompt.
Type in

sfc /scannow

and press enter. Let the scan finish.

This will probably have no affect at all.

 

[alexzutzu]

did the scan, nothing found.

Okay, how did you remove Nexus?
Just uninstalled from Control Panel, or just deleted it from the Program Files folder?
To completely remove it, you would need to use a program like this to get rid of every trace.

ok so i did that. I installed the program you gave me and i reinstalled nexus. and after that i selected the to uninstall, did the advanced search and after that i restarted. and it look the same.

I'm starting to think that reinstalling the OS is the only viable option.

Sorry, but you cannot do what you want. I take it that you want your taskbar to show 2 rows of icons in the notification area, but still retain just 2 lines for the time and date?





As a compromise, add ddd to the short date format. With the default taskbar height (single row of icons), it shows as below. However, increasing the height of the taskbar takes this back to 3 lines.
