WM5 Date and time in the top bar issue

[CTitanic]

Many people has found that if you apply the hack to show the Date and Time in the top bar the date gets cut off by the X. The reason is that MS has changed the font in the top bar to Bold. But... on top of that I have found that the string that is supposed to contain the date also contains the character return (shown as a rectangle) and the time after it.



To get the hack applied and do not have the date cut off the only solution I have found that works in all cases is to change the System Font to Arial Narrow. To do that you need to copy the file arialn.ttf from your c:\windows\font folder to your PPC and change the System Font type using Tweaks2k2. Once you have done that this is how this is going to look like:



PS. In the first picture I have tweaked a little bit the registry to show the Date Time string error. Instead of using just the Date, they are using the whole Date Time string with the Enter character in between!
