Hello,
I meet a problem with Digital Clock that I think I did not meet some weeks ago.
When an application, for instance Firefox, is displayed full screen, Digital Clock disappears.
And even with an application displayed full screen it can sometimes be useful to know what time it is.
I also installed version 5, above version 4, and both react the same.
Hello,
there is an option "show in fullscreen mode" in version 5 (similar option exists in version 4 too). try to enable it. app restart may be required to take effect.
but beware - it still may not work for all the applications. unfortunately, fullscreen windows are special (regardless of Windows documentation that claims that there is no such thing as "fullscren window" at all), system definitely treat them in different way. even more, windows rendered using DirectX (like games and good media players) are completely different category, regular apps can't appear above them in general (but since Win 10 it seems something has changed, and regular apps can appear above some DirectX windows, but still not all).
so, to conclude: it only may work, it is not guaranteed, unfortunately. it only reliably works on macOS.
P.S> tickets here are not monitored as version 4 is not maintained since the end of 2020, version 5 "lives" on GitHub, post issues there

Oh, splendid. Once I know what I have to search for, I find it, in the experimental tab.
Thank you.
