:sigh:I have a slight problem with the clocks on this theme (Airlock) & (Sufference). As you can see where a colon would normally be there is a square, what looks to me, like what you would see if a font family doesn't include that character. But this is a colon... surely it should be there. Any ideas? Love the themes by the way.

you may have manually changed the clock's characters used, meaning you might not actually be using a colon in between the numbers, try doing this:
right click your clock
choose "adjust date/time"
then click on "change date and time"
then "change calendar settings"
then go to "time" and make your corrections there on how your time is displayed

But if you are using a colon but it still shows a square then the font being used could be incomplete, try reinstalling just the fonts used in the themes

Thanx for the input....I reset the time and date format everywhere back to defaults, and reset them reinstalled the fonts (I do show the colon when I test type it in both digital fonts). I even tried just setting it to 12 hour clock (which is the format it shows in all the preview shots) but no go. Oh well I guess I will just have to live with it!,

It wont hurt to also try getting back the default OS fonts. I remember my fonts/wingdings acted weird before, where everything was a square and it solved the problem. here are links for the DEFAULT FONTS for windows 7,8 and 10 if you wanna try restoring them.
default fonts for 7 (http://www.mediafire.com/file/u3zqy467ccxz7k4/windows+7+default+fonts.7z)
default fonts for 8 (http://www.mediafire.com/file/16j1hmsr7797r7d/windows+8+default+fonts.7z)
default fonts for 10 (http://www.mediafire.com/file/5ajhl7qaxc0us3b/windows+10+default+fonts.7z)

i hope it helps, and if not I guess you can always change it to another symbol that would at least look better than a square. good luck

I had the same problem it happend on both of my computers and I have not themed either of them. all they have is start is back on them. i fixed it on one by going into winaero tweeker and setting it back to the original font. i can not tell you if the font in your theme would have done it but i am guessing no, since these guys usually make sure everything is perfect before they release a theme, i am guessing maybe you changed something in winaero tweeker and caused it. like i said shoot back to the original font as the system font and it should clear it up
