> decrease clock area width on taskbar so it'll match the clock size
Available in v4.2.1 as a registry option. See help, Advanced -> OptionsEx section for more details.

In fact, despite of me bashing the classic theme, in this situation the "modern" theme is the buggy one :)

In v4.2, I didn't adjust the clock width to the new time text width, and it worked on the modern theme only because it calculated the width based on both the date and the time.


Look at the following long date:


Now, if you use small icons, the width would stay the same, even if there's no date anymore:


I fixed this bug in v4.2.1, too.

Fixed in v4.2.1.

I'll look at it, although, to be honest, classic theme compatibility is not a priority.

This is not the only issue with the classic theme on recent Windows OSes.

Microsoft surely puts less effort in the classic theme than it puts in the default theme, and I don't see any reason to keep using it.

If your reason is performance, here's a nice article I've stumbled upon recently:

"Adjust visual effects for best performance" should really be called "Adjust visual effects for crappiest appearance"

Hi!


There's a registry option to disable jump lists that appear by dragging.

Set the following DWORD value to 1:
Branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7 Taskbar Tweaker\OptionsEx
Name:
jump_list_drag_disable


Update: v4.2 has a checkbox for disabling jump lists that appear by dragging.

In v4.2 there's an option to display seconds on the tray clock.

If you are interested in a custom date format, please create a new feedback.

I've got another couple of reports about this issue.
Everybody who experienced it so far is using a 64-bit OS.

A commenter on YouTube said he managed to solve it by installing the tweaker to a different path.

I, meanwhile, couldn't reproduce it, and I have no idea what causes the issue.
If you can reproduce it on your PC, please contact me. Thanks!

Update: please read about the issue and v4.2 here:

I've looked at it. The cause is that Windows 7 seems to special-case the behavior of the HSHELL_WINDOWACTIVATED message for the left mouse button.

For left click it goes like:
Press the mouse button -> Move/Release it -> HSHELL_WINDOWACTIVATED is sent.
For other buttons:
Press the mouse button -> HSHELL_WINDOWACTIVATED is sent.

So between the time you press the middle mouse button and the time thumbnails are shown, there considered to be no active window.

These shell message are quite a low level mechanism, and while it might be fixable, it doesn't worth the effort.

On Windows 8, it seem to work the first way for all mouse buttons.

I'm marking it as "not a bug". It's not a tweaker's bug after all.
Tried it now - installed clean Windows 7 64-bit, checked for updates, then installed the tweaker - it worked fine.
This seems to be a very random bug.
