Hello Linux-fighters, ;)
I wanted to change the clock from the LXPanel in the bottom right corner of the desktop. I wanted to change from time to time and date.
But I couldn't find any information about this simply thing. I searched two hours >:(
...but I'm sure, it must give a simpler way. I have likely only overlooked it... :-\
Ok, here my results for other Linux-newbies:
The only helpfull website, which I founded:
http://netgator.blogspot.de/2012/09/change-edit-panel-digital-clock-format.html
The crucial table:
%a - The abbreviated weekday name (Sun)
%A - The full weekday name (Sunday)
%b - The abbreviated month name (Jan)
%B - The full month name (January)
%d - Day of the month (01..31)
%e - Day of the month (1..31)
%H - Hour of the day, 24-hour clock (00..23)
%I - Hour of the day, 12-hour clock (01..12)
%l - Hour of the day ()
%j - Day of the year (001..366)
%m - Month of the year (01..12)
%M - Minute of the hour (00..59)
%p - Meridian indicator (AM or PM)
%S - Second of the minute (00..60)
%w - Day of the week (Sunday is 0, 0..6)
%y - Year without a century (00..99)
%Y - Year with century
%Z - Time zone name
%% - Literal % character
Maybe there's a way for a little bit komfortabler?
:)
Seriously I do not have a clue if this is link below is "komfortabler" ;D

As you said, it's the LXDE panel so, go to:
~HOME/.config/lxpanel/default/panels/panel
Make backup of the panel file, just in case.
Then edit it, go to section:
Plugin {
type=dclock
Config {
ClockFmt=%R
TooltipFmt=%A %x
BoldFont=0
IconOnly=0
CenterText=0
}
}
Change the line:
ClockFmt=%R
using the formats you enclosed in the first post, for example:
ClockFmt=%H %M %S
(try with others too)
Save the file, and reboot the panel:
killall -9 lxpanel &
lxpanel &
or log out and log in back to take effects.
Hello blaze,
yes, that frontend in your link for the clock looks nice; But if you click the link, there is nothing to find about that... :o
...I remember, that I found the same over my searching... -But just not this App. :)
Thank you pavroo for these commands for the Terminal... ::)
No, to change the time display is not difficulty (by rigth-click, and choose time-options); But I must know the characters, which I need to set the clock in my way. And I tell you, that this table in my link is not complete: There are more, because the default-settings contains characters, which there are not in that table. But both sources together were ok... :-\
If somebody could find a complete table, this would be beautiful, for the future.
:)
Hello seppalta,
nice simulator... :)
I have set now:
%A %x %n %R:%S
in our table sources is missing %n or %x for example... :o
:)
