Is there a way to make the clock applet display the week day besides the date? It only shows "15.10.2004", but I'd like to see the abbreviated week day too, e.g. "Fri 15.10.2004".
Right-click on the applet and select "Date&Time Format". Under the "Time and Dates" tab edit the short date format.
I already saw this, but it doesn't offer me a format that includes the week day, only TT.MM.YYYY tT.mM.YYYY TT-MM-YYYY Do you see more than this for the short date format? Mario

You can directly edit that line to whatever you want it to be. You don't need to pick one from the pulldown choices. I don't know about that bug (I didn't look at what it was) but I just changed my clock to show exactly what you wanted so it works for me (KDE 3.3.1). Brana

Seems you mean: Control Center -> Country/Region & Language, Time & Dates tab The Short date format is not only used for the clock, but also in other instances, like the file date in a directory listing. So the solution you offer has a global impact (but limited to the user). I suppose the change that will be in KDE-3.4 affects only the clock applet. Cheers, Leen

One more thing. Once you hit apply you have to kill and restart the clock applet. Then you have to select configure clock and in the appearance tab check the display date checkbox since this gets reset to not display the date for some reasons. After this you will see your new custom formated date appear on the clock. Brana

Great. This works now, so no "bug" or missing feature at that point. But what I consider a bug is that one has to reconfigure it each time it is removed from the panel and added again. Mario
