[BUG] Clock shows on top of multimonitor vmware machine

[domeio]

Everything works fine with the main monitor of the virtual machine. With the second monitor of the virtual machine, elevenclock is there, hidding the vitual machine clock

Eleven Clock is running in windows 11 (4 monitors) Vmware is also on the same machine. The virtual machine is running windows 10 (2 of the 4 monitors) Everything works fine except for the extended vitrual machine monitor (printscreen above)

[marticliment]

did it work?

[domeio]

In portuguese but same options

Doesn't work.

I already played with all these options. I works well with all applications and alsoi with main monitor of vmware. It does not work with extended monitor of vmware. Eleven clock is there. Elevenclock does not recognize that the monitor is being used by vmware (because vmware is using it as an extended monitor)

[marticliment]

Can you please share the log?

[domeio]

[marticliment]

At the right of this text there's a "open" button. A text window will open. Can you please send me that text?

[marticliment]

Can you please send me the vmware workstation process name?

[domeio]

Where can I find these information?

[marticliment]

On the task manager:

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-find-out-application-process-id-windows-10

[domeio]

VMware Workstation (32 bits)

[marticliment]

I'm sorry, i didn't explain myself well. I need this: like the "notepad.exe"

[Cvolton]

Wouldn't have even thought to test this if I didn't see this bug report but I was able to recreate the same issue as OP.

It happens in this screen configuration (note that the VM also happens to be Windows 11 but ElevenClock is only running on the host machine), where the VM is spanning through the main and secondary monitors.

The process name for VMware Workstation is vmware.exe and it doesn't even appear in the log when I do this - presumably because it's seen as running on the main monitor and spanning onto the 2nd one

[marticliment]

Yes, i'll need to blacklist the whole vmware process

[Cvolton]

One thing I forgot to add is that everything works properly if the VM is only fullscreened on the 2nd monitor

[marticliment]

Hmmm, weird...

Anyway, i'll take a look

[marticliment]

This issue will be fixed with the next release. You will need to enable this:

[domeio]

Bug still there

Installed 3.1.1 and selected option "Hide the clock ..."

[domeio]

Also it is very dificult to interact with vmware toolbar if it is in auto-hide. Everything comes back to normal if I close elevenclock. (that was also the case with version 3.1 - behavior doesn't change from 3.1 to 3.11)

[marticliment]

Didn't explain myself: the bug has been fixed and will arrive with 3.2. You'll need to tick that feature on in order to, when you get the update, have this feature enabled

[domeio]

Thank you very much for your support.

Sorry for my misunderstanding

[domeio]

Version 3.2 already.

I have 2 instances of elevenclock, but elevenclock doesn't appear on any monitor. Monitor 4: windows 11: doesn't show -> NOT OK (it shows elevenclock with version 3.1.1 and was OK) Monitor 3: windows 11: main monitor -> doesn't show but OK Monitor 2: extended vmware monitor: doesn't show -> OK (it shows elevenclock on top of vmware with version 3.1.1 and was NOT OK) Monitor 1: vmware main monitor: doesn't show -> OK

[domeio]

Shall I open a new issue?

[marticliment]

No, because the thing here is that, as VMWare is blacklisted, the clocks will hide when vmware is running, since the VMWare window can't be captured as a normal window.

I mean, when you are running VMWare all the clocks will hide without exception

[domeio]

How about an option that let the user select wich monitors elevenclock will appear? This will solve the problem.

Perhaps I can request this feature.

[marticliment]

Yes, you can already blacklist monitors

[marticliment]

Right-click clock -> Monitor tools -> Blacklist monitor

[marticliment]

(Remember to disable the RDP/Cytrix workspace checkbox)

This issue will be fixed with the next release. You will need to enable this:
