Can't change font size of the date in task bar (Linux Lite 5.8)

[Hannes222222]

Can you confirm that if you actually select a different font for the date by clicking on it (so that the selected font background changes colour) that the 'select' button is still greyed out please ?

HA!

By changing the font type (I choose Sans Bold), the button for the font size became valid again and I could choose an other size!  ;D

So it was the default font type (Bitstream Vera Sans) that prevented me from changing the font size. It seems not all font types allow an adjustment in size.

Thank you so much for giving me that hint!  :043:

Kind regards!

It appears that the first running of the datetime GUI (after either a new install OR running 'Taskbar Restore') behaves slightly differently compared to subsequent running it.

On first run and then choosing to display both date and time, the 'select' for date is greyed out unless a non-default font for the date is selected.  This is different to how it behaves with selecting a font for time.

I guess this is because the default font for the date is fixed size - the clue being in the name 'bitstream vera sans 8'
