IMPORTANT!!!

Make sure to allow the background task permission in charm bar settings, so that this app is added to "Lock screen apps". You can also try restarting the system.

You can also turn it on again in Charm Bar (Right Side Bar)-> Settings -> Permissions.

And you can check the Lock Screen apps in system settings.

To fit analog clock, just choose a square picture.

Time Format

The Digital Time format is same as system setting, which can be set in Control Panel: "Language" (primary) and "Change date,time format" page. Set the time and date formats (long & short). Any language format can be set there.
The AM/PM part of short time is affected by long time, it's a bug of the system API (MS accepted but not fixed), not my app's bug. So you may have to set both short and long time format.


Other Notice

animation (motion) only works in snapped view mode (side window). Start screen only support static picture and it limits the display speed. They're system limitations. App can do nothing about it... Thanks.

 

> After building, you should see the clock tile on the start screen.

If it does not show the time, please tell more information. Don't just rate one star! It will not help, believe me. Thanks!
