(I guess the obvious cheap-shot is that Linux Mint Cinnamon does it, and always has. Not without doubling it to 180sq cm of completely wasted screen space.Īnd since I don't do Kafka, I have to move the mouse to hover over the time a few times a day to double confirm this GROUNDHOG DAY Windows environment date issue I live with. It's close to 90sq cm of empty taskbar just sittin' there being blue.Ī perfectly clear little time stamp on the right – - and see five little crystal clear pinned icons on the left.Īll that space. It's hard to explain my complete indignation that in 23+ years of using Windows operating systems I still can't fit a date NEXT to the time, but am forced to double-down the already wasted taskbar space so that a small little date can be placed UNDER the time (of whatever length format) – and I have 2 Feet and 4 inches (71cm) of empty space to the left of the timestamp. With a 40” monitor at 1920x1080 native, it's hard to explain how goofie and rediculous large icons look when the little ones are so razor sharp. I want to change that to read: “Sunday, September 8, 2013” + "3:30PM" [Edit: Summary: my default Windows 8 desktop taskbar currently shows “3:30PM”. Hopefully the bold part above solves what exactly I'm looking for. That global value is shared by all apps, right? But nevertheless I followed the instructions EXACTLY (.to the best of my limited abilities - but it matched the screen shot exactly anyway) and all that happens is that the desktop taskbar time - the same exact value and format just has wider lines around it - which would fit a full Long Date format.
It does not seem wise to force the change of the “Short time” value to a Long Date to get my taskbar to look how I want it. I want that perfectly formatted long date hover value to show all the.
I don't want to change the format of what I get when I hover my mouse over the time – that's perfect. Where do I tell the taskbar to use the Windows-wide “Long date” format instead of “time”? I miss-replied.)īut I still don't see how changing my global Short Data format (per the instructions, which is “M/d/yyy”, to the Long Date that is shown in the screen shot) will change the default view of “3:09PM”, a value of time, to a Long date. I had clicked on and THEN didn't have a tab.
