Taskbar clock font color problem

Hello,

The clock display is part of the Windows 10 taskbar and you can only customize it's colors when you change themes on your desktop. Kindly answer the following questions so we can isolate the issue:

• When did this start happening?
• Which version or build of Windows device are you using? To know, press
  Windows + R to open the Run window. Type winver and press Enter. A new window will open showing the version and build number of your Windows device.
• Can we have a screenshot of your clock display?

You can also personalize the taskbar to
change the color of the Start menu, taskbar and action center so you'll be able to see the clock and calendar font when the theme is
Dark.

We’re looking forward to your response.
