Time not centered.

[iamkewl]

Can someone give me a fix for this?

The time isn't vertically centered on my menu bar and it's bugging the heck out of me.

Thanks

Looks centered to me. Or do you mean vertically centered? Which OS do you have?

I mildly remember a post like this, but haven't been able to find it. How long has it been going on? Maybe it started happening after installing something? Have you rebooted? Looks like you've done some kind of customizing on the color, it's a bit darker than mine. Maybe that's related.

Umm it was fine last night, but when I booted this morning it was like that.

Haven't done anything customization wise, maybe it's my wallpaper?

I wish I wasn't so OCD. But this is the kinda thing that drives me nuts.

That's probably it. You have a dark background. I've also turned off the transparency on mine.

The problem may disappear on its own after another reboot or two or a system update.

Well i'm getting annoyed. Now the time won't change to AM. It's stuck on PM.

Have you tried taking the clock off and back on to the menu bar?

System Preferences -> Date & Time -> Clock -> Show date and time in the menu bar

Yup.

I even put it in time out for an hour.

Nothing. :/

Create a new user account and see whether it happens there.

Thanks.

No, it doesn't do that on a new account.

So it must've been something I did, but I can't think of anything.

Any ideas?

Clicking on the time and changing between Analog and Digital, what does it look like when Analog is selected? (screenshot)

Try deleting the following file:

User Folder > Library > Preferences > com.apple.MenuBarClock.plist

Now restart the computer.

Man I thought that would work, but nope.

Has no one else had this problem?

 

[John Doe 57]

Perhaps its your Hackintosh?

I thought that, but it was fine for a month and is fine on my other 2 Hackintoshes.

And it's fine if I make a new user account. So it has to be something I've done.

 

[iamkewl]

Oh, and the time won't change to AM..

Try resetting your PRAM. (Hachintosh use PRAM right?)
