[SOLVED] Date/time display in panel (change it?)

Post by wallyUSA »

How can I change format of the date/time display in the panel? I've tried several times and searched but I can not seem to solve it.

Current display is:
dt current.png
I would like to have this format:
dt desired.png
I tried to right click (RC) the display in panel. It lets me pick the format but I have no idea how to save the format.

I tried the 'build your own format' (below) but still no way to save it.
dt desired build our own.png
I even did a re-boot but the old format is still there. Sorry, it is probably simple but I do not get it.

TIA - Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 3.6.7 Kernel 4.13.0-38 (64 bit)

Simply set "use a custom data format" to on, input said custom date format and close the dialog...
