How to change clock separator?

Post by Nomin »

The clock in 19.0 Cinnamon has the incorrect formatting for Finland: it shows 22.43, wrong formatting. How do I change it to show 22:43 instead?

If 19 Cinnamon is anything like 18.3 Cinnamon right click on the time and click Configure - you should see a calendar box. At the bottom of that box is the date format - make sure the "Use custom date format" is ON. replace the . with a : in the date format box
