In addition to the ones in the OP:
"StartupDelayInMSec" is also nice for increasing delay, I find it useful for not very fast computers with a number of startup apps, to give time for Windows services to settle.
Yeah, I love it too, it's very minimalistic. I make the taskbar smaller using a small taskbar option in settings, TaskbarX to center the taskbar with acrylic effect, and T-Clock to show the seconds as well as the date. Normally, showing a date with time using a small taskbar is not possible, but with T-Clock it's possible, even better you can modify how it looks in various formats.

People were screaming for a clock on secondary taskbars back in the day and now Microsoft hard-coded it, don't think there is an option to hide it. Maybe if you use a 3rd party application like T-Clock you can pull this off.
The clock itself is T-Clock Redux (text format is UST | Dyy-mm-d | THH:nn:ss @ "Home"
(I often RDP back to my home machine)), the rest of the taskbar is customized with 7+ Taskbar Tweaker.
Thanks to StartIsBack, T-Clock is now working again. You can finally make your taskbar smaller again with it, and it also allows you to change the taskbar position. I can also use eartrumpet without having three awful system trays combined together because StartIsback separates it like in Windows 10.
I actually use this on Windows 10 where you can literally format the date/time (you can disable the ulgy windows XP calendar preview don't worry) so that I have the full date + time on one single line
Hello again! Yes, as you pointed out in your message, we can't approve this because it goes against rule #2 (overall setups are not allowed). We do allow some non-rainmeter stuff - like if you use Fences or T-clock on your taskbar and it's visible, than sure, mention it - but your setup is distinctly a 'whole setup' rather than just one or two extra pieces... does that make sense?
You could remove all the stuff that isn't rainmeter and repost, saying something like "there's usually a lot more stuff open, but it's not rainmeter so I didn't include it", but that is totally up to you if you want to go thru that trouble.
Honestly, I would just copy/paste this post to r/desktops. That sub is meant for overall setups just like this and I think this whole setup deserves to be shown in it's entirety. I really do like it and love how you've set up everything to work for you, but it just doesn't fit the nature of this sub as it is, so moving it to r/desktops just makes more sense than cutting half the stuff out.
Either way, even though we can't approve this, I do hope you're well and will still hang around our three subs (r/rainmeter, r/rainmeterrequests, and r/customization) to chat and ask for help if needed :D
PS. Love the cat cams lol
Has scaling been changed in Display Settings.
If it's the clock that's bugging you then T-Clock could be used as an alternative. Worth a try for the scaling. https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock/releases/tag/v2.4.4%23492-rc
T-Clock has this feature. On the timer window/watch list, right click -> options -> enable "click through while inactive". You can enable the transparency options from there as well.
not related, but i know for a fact he used "T-clock" for the clock. You can get it here: https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock/releases/tag/v2.1.0%2357
As others have mentioned, your date / time config is taking up two lines and your task bar is getting wider as a result.
You can use T-Clock, with which you can tweak the date / time display to your heart's content!
The stock clock is pretty bad when it comes to customization. Give T-Clock a try.
Here's what my clock looks like for reference but you can customize it however you want: https://i.imgur.com/8bHSbpT.png (my config)
I'm on the beta build but it's not because of that. I've used T-Clock to do that.

If you'd like to put your current date and clock inline, I use [this](https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock/releases
). In Time Format > Advanced, I use "d mmm h:nn" and the font size at 10px.

If you want to have the date visible since it's not possible to hide just the time and not the date you could use this utility which lets you customize the time display to exactly how you want it (such as date only): https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock

I've made some more progress on windows 10. The programs I'm using for this are start 10, and clock by white tiger.
https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock/releases For the clock
Stardock for the start10 app
Neither of these are officially supported by microsoft.
It's available on github: https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock/releases/download/v2.4.3%23471-beta/T-Clock.zip
Just extact the main folder in C: and start it up. Remember to check the "Start when windows starts option at the bottom"
