More control over time format in general would be nice

#

windows had in settings where you could just replace HH;mm;ss YY;MM;dd with H;mm;ss d;M;YYYY to modify the format

#

modify the calendar(clock) applet's settings:

#

use 'custom' time format

#

%l (hour - 12hr format 1 to 12) (character is a lowercase L)

#

then colon (:)

#

%M (minute)

%k

The hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number (range 0 to 23); single digits are preceded by a blank. (See also %H.) (TZ)

#

there's a button to show syntax right there

#

also can do date --help in terminal

#

last thing I'm kinda curious is what's the diff between format and format for tooltip

brave wharf Oct 26, 2025, 4:12 AM

#

what shows up (usually a date) when you hover on the applet

hollow swan Oct 26, 2025, 4:12 AM

#

#

oh yea nice thx

#

imo this has to be appened at least as a link to these settings to time settings

#

should not be this hidden

#

and I'm stupid cuz I think I've already found these before just forgot

#

seconds in tooltip don't update real time to kinda
