Solved - 12 hour clock?

#1 Post by namida12 »

control center> system> Set Date and Time

Can not locate a method to change from 24 hour format to 12 hour format in this gui

When I installed am certain it was set to 12 hour

Maybe there a toggle and I tripped that unknowingly.

Code: Select all

I just set Clock format directly in its properties.
I also append %P for lower case am/pm indicators
[%I:%M%P]
I substituted this for the Orage default but it is more or less the same from memory.

anticapitalista, and tascoast,

I could not find search on the menu, guess I am blind and dumb.

But was able to open file manager> eyeball> ,icewm> Preferences (it opened in Geany) Found :Timeformat" and highlighted the the existing info then pasted (%I:%M%P) and saved the file.

Went to menu icon> Logout> Restart Icewm: Done...

Thank you both I now have 12 hour format again.
