Status Bar time information variables - AM/PM?

slizzap

I'm in the US, which is one of those "weird" countries that shows time in 12-hour format 🙂 That means that for any given hour, it can be either AM or PM. Is there a variable that can display AM or PM for 12-hour formats in the Status Bar? The place where this is configured doesn't currently show a variable or option to show this, so I'm not sure if it's simply not documented on this screen or if it doesn't exist at all.

If this turns into a feature request, it's worth noting the main clock in the Navbar also does not show AM/PM when configured to display in 12-hour format.

Here's how to navigate to the setting in question:

Here's how my current setting looks on the home page:

Here's a quick edit showing roughly how it should look:

Thanks.

Here, you are only editing the data you call. As for displaying the AM indicator, you can simply add the letters “AM” at the beginning yourself.

That information cannot be static. If I were to manually add "AM" as you suggested, then the time displayed will always be in the morning hours, which is obviously inaccurate.

Perhaps this will make more sense when compared against 24-hour format:
00:00 through 11:59 = AM (12:00 AM through 11:59 AM)
12:00 through 23:59 = PM (12:00 PM through 11:59 PM)

I understand what you mean, but it seems that's how it's designed now.

Understood.

Is there an official way to submit feature requests such as this? Or if this is the proper way through the forum, then I would like to request:

Add variables for inclusion of AM/PM for 12-hour format in the Status Bar configuration screen
Update the main clock so that it shows AM/PM when using 12-hour format (as shown in the lower right corner of my screenshots above).

Thanks.

slizzap you can try “aaa”

In my Japanese environment, it is in the description, and as far as I tested, it worked. (For some reason, it does not appear in the descrition in the English environment, but it should work in the same way.)

Wow that works on mine as well. Thanks!
