After I installed and used the RegistryWizard to tweak my Polaris for the Taskbar Date/Time to show the Clock & Date, it turned out that the words which is supposed to be the Date & Time is overlapping with my other icons. I tried to disable it and change it to "Nothing" but it wouldn't go back like last time.
Solutions please?

Anybody know how to resolve this:
The Bluetooth Icon located on the TitleBar next to the 3G or H icon, when bluetooth is turned on, disappeares after having modified some settings in Advanced Configuration Tools 3.1 by Schap's.
It actually moves to the upperleft corner of the popup balloon when tapping the 3G or H icon and is colored blue as well.
Any change of this blue colored icon can be placed next to the 3G icon, instead of in the connections-bubble?
Or even to let me have my bluetooth (black and white) icon back where it originally should be situated, next to the 3G / H icon?
Anybody know which settings in Adv. Config Tools perform this operation, or know a workaround in the registry?

I have found the thing that makes the bleutooth icon go from the statusbar or titlebar to be gone or to the connectivity bubble:
It has something to do with switching the phone skin on/off.
Phone skin is enabled/disabled with Advanced Config Tools 3.1 by Schap's by going to Phone section, on top you see, Phone skin: disabled (default) and enabled (advised).
I like the disabled (default) better than the advised one, i think the keybuttons look way fancier.
Now the white buttons on the enabled (advised) one are not bad, but the thing is when this one is selected, you don't have any bubbles anymore when clicking on some of the icons above in the titlebar, now first you get a systemstatus screen, with the icons as buttons. Once you click an icon, you go back and the bubble of that paticular icon is displayed.
Plus there's no or just one almost 'hard to see' scrollbar next to the SIM contacts.
I'll stick with the original (enabled/advised) one, because off videocall mode option, bluetooth icon on titlebar and relative good buttons, but it's too bad the scrollbar isn't shown properly.
If someone knows how to edit this skin to make it all work, please do so.
The location for the changing the skin is HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin
in HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin set Enabled to 1 for original
set Enabled to 0 to get the black button skin.
There's also a string or D-Word there which contains a .DLL file information, perhaps this is the DLL that contains the skin so somebody can modify this file. Look for it in that regfolder HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin.
Attached some pics to give you an idea what i'm talking about.

Today the normally digital clock in the title bar of opened progams inexplicably changed to the small circular analog looking clock. How do I change it back? I havent been able to find a setting for this at all and as far as I know, it changed by itself spontaneously... I have never found a setting to change the clock style in either Advance Config or Start-Settings. I am not using TF3D and I deleted the Advance Config tool and soft reset, but it did not get rid if the small circular clock. I have the clock set to appear in all opened programs, and set to display battery in Advance Config, but no combination of different settings changes the clocks appearance. Any ideas?
long press on the clock will allow you to choose the analog/digital version.

Ok... figured it out. i feel dumb now.
It's funny... mine did the exact same thing randomly
Guys I have question
On OEM flip cover, when you enable the style clock does it show the right time when the phone time settings is set at AM/PM mode?
On my style clock the minutes hand shows correctly but the hour hand shows "0". I have tired all the style clock themes and all show this but when i change my phone's time settings to 24 hour clock it displays correctly...!!
The date shows correctly, its only the time which is incorrectly & specifically the hour hand which shows "0"
I have tried restarting the device multiple times but still nothing.
Any help with this will be highly appricated

That's a widget thing only. Remove it in back-screen-setting.

i want to say , its Status bar ( download icon, wifi, clock, gsm,...) not is widget notification.
I fully second this. Also after like an hour of inactivity, clocks on the EPD stop updating properly. For example its 01:21, but the clocks on my Y3+ (updated from Y3) still show 01:03. Only the clock on the status bar are correct, but first of all, I don't want the status bar on my EPD, and secondly they are too small to consider them convenient at that point anyway.
Would really, really love to hear about solutions to both of those issues :-| The status bar has no reason to exist on the back of the phone. I just wish Y3+ was just a Y2 in regards to the EPD.
workaround for me is to enable the lockscreen with the second screen app but just leave it empty - so I just get a blank white screen with the locked icon and nothing else - most importantly: no statusbar.
most of the apps I use on the e-ink side have fullscreen support, so it doesnt annoy me during actual use.
but yeah, bit of a weird thing to not give us any settings for.
Ye, for me, the "actual use" for a phone with always on screen is seeing a nic clock (and other info) on its back. Thats the most important, seeing clock/weather/notifications/potentially other widget thingies (I inda liked the step countner on the chinese version). But the status bar is something that's not usable "at a glance", its too small for that so it has no place there.
But lately, I'm most annoyed by the clocks not updating properly when the phone is in sleep mode for a few hours, I can't trust the clock anymore, f*ck I hate that about it so much.

It's a late response, but I'm glad I'm not the only one with the time sync problem. I miss the YotatHub clock and battery widgets :-(
I finally discovered how to fix it:
Go to Settings -> Battery -> Click upper right 3 dots -> Choose 'Battery optimization' -> Choose clock app -> Click 'Don't optimize' -> Click 'Done' and you're done! Now your clock will always update
I have a formerly mysterious notification dot on the status bar. I figured out what it was for when I was investigating why the wifi and data icons weren't appearing. The notification dot indicates that there are other icons that it can't show because (I guess) it thinks it doesn't have enough room. For some reason the OS is only allowing a very small portion of the status bar to be used(see screenshot) . Why? Is there a de-clutter setting I need to turn off somewhere? Is there any way to fix this? Is this an Android 10 issue or a LineageOS 17.1 issue?
If you want details of my investigation, ok: In the status bar settings when I disable the mobile data icon, the notification dot disappears and the wifi icon appears. When I disable the wifi icon, the alarm icon replaces the notification dot. When I move the clock to the left side or the center, the alarm and wifi icons appear. When I go into the clock settings and turn off the alarms, the notification dot is replaced with the wifi icon. But the alarm clock icon wasn't showing before I turned the alarms off. In between the disabling, what was previously disabled was re-enabled.
What idiot programmer thought it would be a good idea to have a notification dot appear in the status bar and not tell you what it means? When you google Android status bar notification dot, nobody has any idea what it means. The only answer I found is from someone who figured out what it was indicating for them (different than what was indicating for me) by investigating like I did. There's no general documentation, but even if there was, it wouldn't do you any good unless it told you where to go to view notification dot messages. I assume there is no such place.

I believe I have also seen it... LOS 17 on Moto Edge.
I think I figured out what the problem is. First here's an explanation of how the Status & Notification bar works from here:
The status bar and the notification bar are very similar, but in reality, they are two different things. The status bar is located at the top of the display, on the right. This is where you will see things like the current time, battery status, and current connections (Bluetooth, cellular network, and Wi-Fi). The Notification bar, on the other hand, is located on the upper left side, where you'll find app icons to alert you to new messages, updates to the Play Store, and other notifications.

It looks like the OS is allocating way to much space to the left side so the right side doesn't have enough space to display its icons. I assume its actually LineageOS doing this, not Android.
This is a known gripe for certain people. It's androids attempt to plan for folks with holepunch and notch cutouts. At default zoom settings you can fit maybe 4 or 5 notifications as well as your clock and status indicators before you're full.
This is compounded by the fact that some apps (mostly messaging apps, text, telegram, gmail) respect this and will show one icon to illustrate that you have unreads, which you can then expand to see all of your various chats/emails. Other apps (looking at you youtube) will show an individual icon for every single notification. 5 unseen videos because you're at work? I guess we don't really need to know about literally any other notification we've gotten.
The best solution I've found is to set a custom dpi so that the screen is as small as is still usable, and to install gravitrybox. It comes with a setting where it will try to increase the amount of notification icons you can view. (in my case its about 9)

The notification side isn't the problem. That side is empty most of the time for me, but I'll try gravitybox.

looks to me like your time font is a tad large.
besides that, seems to be the same issue. android/lineage is trying to prevent the notification bar from becoming cluttered, but it is being way too aggressive.

I didn't do the custom dpi setting, but I did do the GravityBox setting(which I think only effects the status side) and now all of the icons are showing.
The version that LSPosed installed wasn't working. It was saying: "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting" while the module was trying to load. I had to install the latest version(which LDSposed notified me of but wouldn't download or install) from GitHub. I had to reboot for it to take effect.
