apianti Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Have you tried looking in your firmware menu to see if it matches the current localtime or if its indeed UTC? If its the first you need no offset, also this would make sense as +7 would give you 2125 and -7 would give you 0725, both are in night time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never matched,,, at my macOS time is 14.25 but in BIOS it's 19.25. But time in windows and BIOS is same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apianti Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) So that is because you have -5 set which is EST which is eastern US. You must not have correct timezone set in macOS. In windows, it uses localtime unless you change a registry key DWORD: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\RealTimeIsUniversal=1 Then set the correct timezone for both of your OSes. Then your offset will work for where you are actually located. EDIT: So either you want -7 because you are in MST in the US/canada or somewhere equivalent in the west, or you want +7 because you are in east asia, specifically indochina region.

So this is complete my conditions (sorry for bad english) 1. I set add Dword 32Bit at TimeZoneInformation for RealTimeIsUniversal=1 and change my time to 13.47 (automatic set by Windows Time) 2. In config.plist, i add Timezone = +7 Conditions 1. Boot into mac and set time as my local time (automatic set by internet location) 13.57 then reboot and enter bios 2. At my BIOS time is 06.57 3. Boot into mac and my time is 13.57 Reboot into windows, and mac again and windows again and repeat again my time in BIOS always set to 06.57 unless i delete REGISTRY Value about RealTimeIsUniversal then BIOS Time will same like Windows. But it will break again into 06.57 if i reboot from mac. So i need to set RealTimeIsUniversal=1 to make my Windows Time is not same like BIOS Time (06.57) Clover Time is Night Mode (because BIOS 06.57) My Questions: How to prevent BIOS TIME change???

But it doesn’t matter what time your bios says as long as macOS and windows have correct time it’s fine. And if Themes are dark or light when they aren’t supposed to be then you use the Timezone in GUI section.

In mac my time is 16.13 (day time) 2. BIOS time is 09.13 (day time) of course both of time is Daytime,, so i can't test the solution so i make change. Replace +7 to 7 1. Change my mac time to 21.00 (night time) 2. When boot my BIOS time is 14.00 (day time) But, in CLOVER GUI theme is NIGHT,, so change +7 to 7 is the solution Thanks @Slice Edited December 26, 2018 by Andres ZeroCross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apianti Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) lol, i was just using +7 to differentiate between -7... but maybe we should change this line https://sourceforge.net/p/cloverefiboot/code/HEAD/tree/rEFIt_UEFI/Platform/Settings.c#l287 to return (INTN)AsciiStrDecimalToUintn ((Prop->string[0] == '+') ? (Prop->string + 1) : Prop->string); Because adding a + sign is a completely valid number still. Edited December 26, 2018 by apianti 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Petev Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Just found a Clover bug with the Clovy theme: my initial selection is this: Look at the "Boot..." label when I select Windows: Part of the first letter of the previous label is still visible. Quick test will show such anomalies when switching from shorter to longer label and vice versa. Not sure if it happens to other vector themes, haven't seen other so far. The graphics card is Nvidia GTX 650. Edit: seems like a graphics issue, no such problem with the Intel HD 4000 graphics on my laptop...

Philip Petev Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) It's obviously not the theme, it's Clover and the way it draws the objects, using the NVidia GOP. Another example (BGM_SVG): Look the trails when I walk through all the options from the second line. It's like drawing the new text above the old one, without removing it first. Tried the same theme on Intel HD 4000 and guess what, everything looks normal. Edit: everything seems fine on the HD 520 graphics on my other laptop. So it seems Clover doesn't play well with the NVidia GOP for some reason. Edited December 26, 2018 by Philip Petev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackosx Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Yes, it’s a bug that needs looking in to. I saw it last week when setting the message row to be a larger size than normal. As SavageAUS pointed out, reducing the text size helped overcome this at the time but of course does not fix the bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Petev Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Also, the GUI freezes, when I change the theme from the GUI menu, and I can't do anything, when it does, except to reboot with Ctrl+Alt+Del. In addition to the above, there is something really wrong with Clover, using this particular NVidia GOP driver. Not sure if this issue happens on other NVidia cards, as I have only this one (GTX 650). Edited December 26, 2018 by Philip Petev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apianti Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Oh, you guys, always finding problems with stuff. I personally think it's cool. I like that there are artifacts left behind on the screen, it's like it's adding to the ambiance of the themes. Very cool to have the amazing feature of having to restart to prevent you from choosing to unwisely change your theme, the first one was good enough!

bronxteck Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 LOL so silly api. the best feture is if you set clovy permanently in config and you can't even get back into clover... that's a super feature as well I call it a security feature since you can only unlock from your thumb drive.... awesome!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 I wish to announce my new SVG theme, night look It is far from complete and I also see bugs in Clover. The theme demonstrates such technologies as: vertical layout, font usage, conic gradients, clip-path usage, symbol usage, text as picture and more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this issue happens on other NVidia cards, as I have only this one (GTX 650). Yeah, I got similar issue with vector theme on Nvidia GT 520 Vesa; but on my case is not only freezing in "GUI Tuning" (if vector theme being used) but also when pressing Space Bar on Boot volume then select Return (or Esc) it would frozen immediately. I've restarted my real mach more than 5 times for testing. Wait, I have a same issue on VirtualBox actually; graphics problem still? Weird is all going fine on 10 inch Netbook with Intel GMA 3150 (Atom CPU, 1024x600 native, Vesa limited to 800x600, Legacy mode, no idea how to debug except running Clover from GPT Ext. USB). @Philip Petev About font; there's no issue using Clovy has, but only with blackosx's BGM_SVG (which I believe is PTMono: one of Monotype font family).. not sure but on Raster theme previously we could play with CharWidth on theme.plist.. vector theme needs graphics editor or xml edit to change it, I think. @Slice I see awesome thing when an Entry is selected using Clovy on r4825, it'll look upper on screen.

Well, a cool bug then.. it reminds me with "Smooth" raster theme honestly. Spoke too early, I've to correct that no longer getting freeze issue when vector theme switch using VM since r4825 (or could be earlier, more recent than r4822), but just with my Nvidia Vesa on real mach. OK, I just read your other reply here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
