Change the date/time format for the clock applet?

Post by featherlessbiped »

I remember doing this a long time ago but the exact method escapes me. How do I do this again? I know it involves printf formatting strings in a config file somewhere.

If you mean the clock in the bottom right hand of the main screen, right-click on it, select configure and then select custom format. Info about what the various %I, %M etc things mean is given.

Clock applet of which DE? Compiz doesn't provide clock by itself. This is the wrong board.
