kristi Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this. Line "Mon" Did searches on +week +day and weekday with no joy. tia Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 (edited) right click on the clock Type = plain showtimezone = Local timezone (gives date alongside the clock) copy to clipboard gives days/dates/times etc - not sure how to show the actual day tho alongside the clock.

kristi Posted March 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Thanks Chris - I already use plain clock and just holding the mouse pointer over the clock shows the day of the week - I am looking for a way that shows it constantly with the clock...

Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I'm not sure which DE you use or how the clock works in it, but in Fluxbox, there is a line in the ~/.fluxbox/init file that determines how the clock is dsplayed. Maybe knowing these will help you. Mine is like this: session.screen0.strftimeFormat: %a %b %d %k:%M The %(letter) comes from 'man date' in the +FORMAT section: %a locale's abbreviated weekday name (Sun..Sat) %b locale's abbreviated month name (Jan..Dec) %d day of month (01..31) %k hour ( 0..23) %M minute (00..59) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Ah. In KDE, right-click the clock. Choose Date/time format. Click the date/time tab (I think). In the dropdown menu for Short Date, add WEEKDAY in front of it and click Apply, then OK. Then log out and back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
