Windows 10: Widen notification bar day and date area to fit single line

On my laptop I'd like to widen the day and date area so that the day and date fit on one line. For instance, for today, I'd like it to display "Thursday/09/15/2016." I have made this change in settings, and when I hover the mouse over that area, the display is correct. But because the display area is too small, it otherwise shows only the time. This works fine on my desktop PC--plenty of room there (see illustrations for comparison). So how do I widen the day and date area on my laptop? Or would shrinking the font size there let them fit, and how do I do that? Thanks.

Task Bar Clock

Hi all. Can the Task Bar Clock area be widened so that it shows the day as well as the week? I can change the height of the task bar and it shows then, but I wish to have the task bar as a single line. I think I have set the long date format correctly.
Thank you.

 

Clock not showing in taskbar.

Hi,

I installed the free upgrade to windows 10 on my win 8.1 PC. However the taskbar is not functioning correctly. The pinned icons are about an inch or more apart and if the taskbar is a single line only edge show. And now only the edge icon is showing. The
clock is present because the area for it is there, but nothing is displayed in thee notification area. the date and time appear in the tip when I hover my mouse over the date and time notification area and when I click on that area the calendar and time app
shows up. but nothing is showing in the clock notification area.

Thanks for your help.

 

This might be a partial solution to your issue. If you right click a blank area of the taskbar you should get a pop-up menu. Click on Properties. A dialog box should open with a check box that allows you to use small taskbar buttons. If I uncheck that box my taskbar gets wider to accommodate the larger buttons and correspondingly the clock will also show the date. Unfortunately, it doesn't show the day. Perhaps someone smarter than me will have a better answer.

 

Thanks, marsmimar. That made no difference on my laptop--after the taskbar icons shrunk, only the time appeared. *Sad I can see that on my laptop there's a barely discernable division separating the space for the date and time from the rest of the notification area. I don't see that on my desktop PC. In any case, maybe someone has a solution. Thanks for trying.

 

Would this help? I'm on:

Anyone? Just jump right in, please. Thanks.

 

I suggest you have a look at T-Clock here: White-Tiger/T-Clock.

 

Thanks. T-Clock works.
