I have just installed oS 11.3, with the Gnome desktop, from the DVD.
While I know how to change the time/date format for the clock/date/weather settings in the (bottom) panel to my preferred format of *d*/m/y, the date format shown in Thunderbird is still showing as *m*/d/y.
How did you do it for the clock applet?
In Gnome Configuration Editor, do apps>panel>applets>clock_screen>prefs and edit "custom _format" to read "%a %d %b %y %H:%M:%S" and also change "format [12 or 24 hours]" to read "Custom" The change takes immediate effect (ie, without the need to reboot or anything).
This setting is usually set by using a setting associated with "locale" in other distros. However I cannot find where this date format can be changed in 11.3 (from the default m/d/y to d/m/y).
Could some please suggest where this setting can be changed (to d/m/y)?
GNOME itself doesn't provide a way to set LC_TIME, but since it's just an environment variable, it should be ok to set it in ~/.profile or in ~/.bashrc.
Ok, but in other distros it is simply a matter of ensuring that the locale is set correctly - as "Australia" in my case which automatically altered the date display in Thunderbird. I'll try your suggestion, thanks. BC -- Attorney: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?
