Do you know the font Windows 10 uses for the default Date & Time display?

*Do you know the font Windows 10 uses for the default Date & Time display?*
<https://i.postimg.cc/Dy2mgsNq/clock01.jpg>

After BSODs and a new Windows 10 Pro (1909) installation, one by one, I'm
resetting the hundreds of tweaks for an efficient Windows using only the
best and most useful freeware (such as DSclock & ClocX & T-Clock).
1. clocx adds an extremely simple round desktop clock & timezone choice.
<http://www.clocx.net>
2. dsclock adds configurable desktop digital text clock & timezone choices.
<http://www.dualitysoft.com>
3. T-clock simply replaces the taskbar clock (same system timezone choice).
<https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock/releases>

Googling didn't find what Microsoft uses by default for the Windows 10
default taskbar date & time display font, style, and size, where the
closest I can seem to match by trial and error are somewhere around...
Arial Bold 9 & Arial Narrow 10 (both Western script)
or maybe...
Arial Unicode MS, Regular, 9, Western
or, even perhaps...
Franklin Gothic Book, Regular, 10, Western
which is what I'm currently using as a workaround.

That's certainly close enough to "almost" match; but it would be nice to
match exactly if I knew the font, style, & size that Microsoft uses.

Hi BeAr,

It's nice to hear from you again, where we've both been purposefully
helpfully contributing to this newsgroup's tribal knowledge for many years.

Thank you for your kind suggestion to use Segoe UI, semibold, 9, Western:
<https://i.postimg.cc/9f6KJx4f/clock02.jpg>
(Where on earth do they get these funny names from anyway?) :)

Errantly, my searches weren't for the "system font", but for the Windows
"taskbar font" - which I hadn't realized, would be the same as the system!

Also thank you for realizing I leave that last line as the quotable line,
so that people only quote that which is pertinent to what they respond to!

The reason fonts matter is we've all re-imaged our systems umpteen times,
where each time we document the tweaks (which amount to hundreds) as we
hone the infinite finesse of these tweaks with each inevitable iteration.

Googling with your keywords does confirm "Segoe UI" is the system font:

=== === === start of tutorial === === ===
*Tutorial for duplicating a Windows taskbar clock in any desired timezone*

1. Obtain "dsclock" from <http://www.dualitysoft.com>
2. It wants to install into: "C:\Program Files\DS Clock"
I put it where it belongs, which is: "C:\app\hardware\clock\dsclock"
3. Warning: Use a killswitch as the installer, by default, phones home to:

<https://www.dualitysoft.com/dsclock/thankyou.html?src=dsc-install&version=4.0.0.2>
4. Note the default display setting = hh:mm:ss tt - MMMM dd, yyyy
Which shows up in blue & yellow as 07:17:07 AM - April 08, 2020
5. What I prefer is a minimalistic two lines:
o 7:17 AM
o Wed 08Apr
6. Click the suggested buttons to visualize the necessary syntax, e.g.,
Date... {Day=dd}{Month=MMM}
Time... {Hour=hh}{Min=mm}
Separator...{LineBreak=|}
TimeZone...{(UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)=[#085]}
7. Set the desired time and date format, if not the default, which is:
Date & Time Format
(o)7:17 PM
(_)Wed 7:17 PM
(_)4/8 7:17 PM
(_)Wed 4/8 7:17 PM
[_]Military time format
8. Set the display to be whatever you desire, e.g., #085|ddd ddMMM
o #085 = pacific time zone
o | = newline
o ddd = weekday in 3 letters, first capitalized
o <space> = space character
o MMM = month in 3 letters, first capitalized
Which shows up as two lines:
7:17 AM
Wed 08Apr
Note: I haven't figured out how to remove the space before the "AM" yet;
so, for balance & consistency, I added the space after the "Wed".
9. Change the font to match the Windows default system font (if desired):
[x]Use custom font
Segoe UI, semibold, 9, Western
10. Change the font & text color & background color
[x]Use custom colors
[white]Text color
[any color because it will be transparent]Background color
[x]Transparent [_]Use outline color
11. Uncheck
[_]Enable sound (otherwise it can signal events you don't care about)
[_]Show upcoming reminders (I think this requires a plugin to work)
12. Leave at the default these key settings if desired:
[x]Load program on startup
[x]Always on top
[x]Lock window position (after you manually position it, of course)
First day of week: Sunday
First week of year: Starts on Jan 1
etc.

Note these each do something different that I find useful in my use model:
1. clocx adds a simple but large round desktop clock of a chosen timezone.
<http://www.clocx.net>
2. dsclock adds a configurable desktop digital clock of a chosen timezone.

There's also the equally-useless M (useless since there's always an
"M"). The colon could be eliminated also. When writing times for my own
use, that example becomes:

717A

Hi Mark,

I'm glad you picked up on the goal being the efficiency in characters.
o DSclock can use 24-hour time; but I prefer 12-hour day-and-night cycles.

When the time is after noon time, like at 20:00, I have to add 12 manually.
o In dsclock, I'd prefer that display to be something efficient like this:
8:00p
Wed08Apr

Unfortunately, dsclock enforces a space between the time & its period:
o 8:00<space>AM === ante meridiem (i.e., before noon)
o 8:00<space>PM === post meridiem (i.e., after noon)

It's not a big deal though, as the Windows taskbar clock, by default, also
has a space between the time and the meridiem indicator.

If desired, we can modify the taskbar system clock display using freeware:
o T-clock <https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock>
which also has "line spacing" options that dsclock freeware doesn't offer.
<https://windows-cdn.softpedia.com/screenshots/T-Clock-Redux_11.png>
and which has a checkbox option to display the meridiem indicator or not:
<https://windows-cdn.softpedia.com/screenshots/T-Clock-Redux_10.png>
but, as far as I'm aware, T-Clock freeware is bound to the system clock.

The (A-less) 24-hour form is simpler, but I'm trying to be compatible
with the people around here who can't handle the simple conversion
between 12- and 24- hour clocks.

Also, it makes it obvious that this is a time rather than some other number.

BTW, the "12" on 12-hour clocks makes more sense considered as 0 and I
have often used 0 internally in web page stuff. That's one place where
24-hour gets it right (midnight is 0 not 24).

I would prefer it if we went to a 24-hour clock, but the 12-hour form is
so prevalent that I doubt if it will eve be changed. I'm so used to the
12-hour format that even though I can handle the conversion, if someone
tells me a time in 24-hour form, I'm slow at making the conversion.

Well we (YTIW), also do conversions. When it's for example 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, we say it's 3 o'clock ('3 uur'), not some silly thing
like '1500 hours'.

So in normal 'talk'. we use a 12-hour system, but all 'written' times
are in 24-hour notation, i.e. the TV guide says 21:00 and so do my
watch, my computer, phone, tablet, etc., etc..

Hi Mark Lloyd,

Hehhehheh... I like a conversation with you as it kills me when the trolls
post but your posts are on topic and of merit, where I agree with you on
your simplistic answer that it kind of is an "m", since it's either an "A"
or a "P" type of Meridium.
o AM === ante meridiem (i.e., the "A" meridiem indicator for "prior noon")
o PM === post meridiem (i.e., the "P" meridiem indicator for "post noon")

I did enjoy that alt.usage.english thread as it contained a LOT of good
data on what people used around the world in history for the start of a day
(e.g., some start at sunrise).

Since all threads to Usenet should purposefully helpfully add _new_ (often
unexpected) added value, I'll explain if anyone was wondering why it
matters to have more clocks than the crappy one that Microsoft puts in the
task bar.

I suspect the most common reason people might want time zones displayed is
so that those people can have separate clocks in specific time zones they
deal with.

For me, that's not the reason, but I suspect that's the main reason.
o For me, being able to see the local timezone is a privacy thing.

To clarify, I have a privacy-based script that, among other things, changes
the system timezone randomly on the PC using Windows commands such as:
cmd /k tzutil.exe /s "Pacific Standard Time" <== as in "set"
Where the list of possible settings is obtained from a dictionary lookup:
cmd /k "tzutil.exe /l <== as in "list"
And, just for completeness, the current system Timezone is displayed by:
cmd /k "tzutil.exe /g <== as in "get"

This privacy randomization was originally written by Marek Novotny and is
the same with my 'newsreader', which is simply a bunch of telnet & VPN
scripts and the vim editor, where when I post to Usenet, it posts with
whatever timezone the script pulls out of the default settings for any
given personality.

In short, the system timezone is changed randomly during the day, so I need
a "real" clock that tells me the actual current time in my own time.

BTW, in terms of fingerprinting & non-cloud privacy, for the Windows
freeware folks, since the system clock is randomly changed by a privacy
script, that's why I had to find freeware local "calendars" and "alarms"
which didn't depend on the system time zone.

It's not easy implementing a privacy policy against fingerprinting, where
not only my newsreader strategy, but even my browser strategy is part of
that privacy based anti-fingerprinting policy.

You don't need to worry about time-zone fingerprinting, as long as you
continue posting with a clock that is exactly 30 minutes off time (in
whatever time zone is active, at a given moment).

*Clock*:
We have a single large wall clock in the house which is synced to a time
server, and which the house uses as the local time.

*Watch*:
Stopped wearing them years ago because they kept getting smsshed working
on stuff and falling off cliffs.

*CellPhone*:
Broke many but I kept buying them (unlike watches) which is what I use for
time when I'm out and about.

*Computer(s)*:
What I use when I sit at a computer.
(Although the system clock tz is randomized.)

*Oven, microwave, DVD player, etc. clocks*:
All blinking... (too much of a PITA to deal with, particularly given we
have dozens of power outages in certain years (although PG&E has been
better lately).

How about others?

I just set up a new machine, where each time I set up a Windows 10 box, I
improve upon all the customizations of the past setups.

A useful trick, particularly since I have notifications turned off and yet,
Windows 10 (apparently) insists on an empty taskbar notification flag, is
to colortap the taskbar notification area to set the DSclock background the
same as the taskbar or notification area (depending on where you place it).

Here's a screenshot of dsclock, color matched, on top of the system clock:
