Anyone know how to adjust the translucency of the clock in Big Sur in the Menu Bar?
I have two Macs - on one computer the clock shows just fine. On the other, the clock is extremely faint, and barely visible. I've looked through the settings and don't see a way to increase or decrease the brightness of the clock. I've looked in Dock & Menu Bar and don't see it there.
Is there any way to adjust brightness of the clock?
Try Option+click the clock to switch between high and low contrast mode.

Yes, this is it! This is how Apple makes things non-obvious.
Clock is dimmed when "Do not disturb" mode is on.
It can change brightness during the day if "Do not disturb" mode is scheduled.
Option+Click on the clock disables/enables DND mode!
I don't know the answer, but wanted to support you with this question - I'm having the same issue and I know it's annoying. Surely there are others who have it, it must be a bug. Dear people in apple-power, I know there is a lot in life to deal with, but please do something about it...
Isn't that just a solution while you click on the clock? As soon as I move my cursor away the clock is dimmed again. Is there a way to change the brightness more permanently?
It does stay brightened when I move away from the clock -- however, for whatever reason, it doesn't seem to last long, then I have to Option+click on the clock again if I want to brighten the clock.
My problem seemed to be related to the Do Not Disturb setting. I disabled that and the clock brightness returned.
