@foxidrive: Yes, that is the purpose of carlos' PIXELFNT.EXE program. Just download it and execute "PIXELFNT 1" in the clock.bat program before show any output to the screen.

Is there a method to set the font and size for one screen only, the one that is running the clock?

Can the settings be changed to open the window, and then changed back so other windows open as usual?


Yes, the title of the windows is the key.

Windows track the size , font, etc. based on windows title. If there isn't windows title that default to standard title (I don't remeber but you may found on windows registry)

Look at method used by user Neorobin. http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2745&p=15988#p15990

Einstein you put this

Code: Select all

 
  rem delim + = " TAB
  rem Tausche Escape Zeichen der Anweisung mit Zollzeichen der Optionen
for /F tokens^=1^,4delims^=^.^-^{^"^    %%a in ('"wmic OS Get LocalDateTime,MUILanguages |find "   " "') do if "%%~b" neq "" set "daTi=%%a" & set "lang=%%~b"

Ops! A real bug!

This is the output of "wmic OS Get LocalDateTime,MUILanguages" in my computer:

Code: Select all

LocalDateTime              MUILanguages
20160406104801.760000-300  {"es-ES"}

This means that the fields must be delimited by "-" OR "+"! Just insert a "+" in the delims part in this line:

Code: Select all

for /F "tokens=1,4 delims=.-+{" %%a in ('wmic OS Get LocalDateTime^,MUILanguages') do if "%%~b" neq "" set "daTi=%%a" & set "lang=%%~b"

I already did this in the posted code... Thanks for reporting!

PS - May anybody confirm if a "+" is used when the time zone adjustment is zero? For example:

Code: Select all

20160406152131.386000+000  {"xx-XX"}

Confirmed (Win7 x86). If I change the settings to an appropriate timezone it displays +000.
