Win11ClockToggler

With each new update, a program is supposed to get better, faster, more efficient and provide new features for its users. However, at the same time, many of them are removed for various reasons, such as incompatibility with new functions, redundancy, and more.

Overview

When it comes to operating systems such as Windows, customization remains an important priority for many users. The community often takes responsibility into their own hands to fix some issues. Win11ClockToggler is a straightforward app meant to restore the functionality of hiding the time, date, and system tray in Windows 11.

Features

• Hide or show the taskbar's system tray


• Toggle the clock, date, and notification icon independently


• Command-line-based executable


• Removal and restoration of the system tray with double-click


• Customizable through Command Prompt

Limited Functionality

A small limitation of the program is that the system tray reappears when a notification is received. This can be managed by setting the Focus Assist feature to Alarms only, ensuring a distraction-free environment.

Issues

At times, the program can be buggy when activating extra functions, showing an additional blank button that requires a restart of Windows Explorer from the Task Manager to reset it. Hiding only the clock can disable interaction with the system tray icons until the program is rerun.

Customization

Win11ClockToggler allows users to hide or show the system tray and clock, providing a distraction-free environment when focusing on tasks or recording tutorials.
