After an estimated 900 million complaints and 45 deaths in riots, Microsoft has finally allowed the font of the clock (lower right on the screen) to be visible without an electron microscope.
The download is for some reason called ElevenClock. It has to be installed and customized for time format and font size and color.
It is the same size as a system font and perfectly legible on my system. I suggest you have an eye test.
OTOH my wife's Apple MacBook Air with the fancy high definition requires you to be myopic to get the full benefit of the screen resolution.
It "solves" a "problem" almost nobody has.
Two lens replacements and about a dozen retina repairs so far. I'm going to see about some lasic next. Imagine a guy peeling off the top layer of your retina cells, by hand, with tiny tweezers, and having a conversation all the while. He was surprised at what I was seeing; after an estimated 2500 procedures, nobody had told him that.
One can change the system font, but not the tiny date/time, which is the farthest away thing on my screen too.
I can see it now! It's "6:22 AM" nice and fat. The biskits should be about perfect, just a bit blackened on the peaks. Does anybody want my biskit recipe?
My Mantis solves another problem, like soldering #32 thermal-strip enameled wire onto tiny leadless IC pins.
I have a real analog clock:
I was the champion clock reader in the third grade.
In my system it's quite readable, I think it's on your end
Certainly. My vision is pretty bad.
If I plant my face over text, that's often on the left side of the screen. On a big screen, that puts the clock out of my fixed-focus range. The Win11 native text is tiny and can't be changed.
When I got plastic lenses, I decided to be fixed-focus nearsighted, so I only need glasses for driving. Or for reading the tiny spidery fonts in The New York Times.
