I've made the in-place transition from Windows 7 to 8 with only a moderate number of glitches and infuriations to resolve, and one inconvenience that I still want to address is the excessive width allocated to the clock display at the right-hand end of the notification are in the Desktop (I use StartMenu X to completely bypass the Start Screen and boot straight into Desktop). The clock is taking up three times as much width as is required for its simple hh:ss display, and I would like to cut out that excess, or to fill the space with additional day / date information, but cannot find any means to do so. Does any nice person here have any useful ideas on this? -- Philip.
