Version: (using KDE 4.0.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc-4.0.3 OS: Linux The clock applet in KDE 4.0.0 ignores the KDE system-wide date format settings. KDE 3's clock applet used the date format settings and was more usable. The clock always uses "21 Jan" or "21 Jan 2008" (depending on whether 'show year' is selected. It should either 1) Use KDE system-wide date format settings or even better, 2) have a configurable option to a) use KDE system settings or b) a user-specified format. Not to mention the fact that the clock *looked* better in KDE 3...
There is no kicker and kdesktop in KDE 4, but plasma.
This is fixed in 4.1 and 4.0.1.
Yeah Pino, that's the main problem :( kicker was the best panel ever designed for any operating system/desktop environment to date. It had become very mature, was extremely configurable, and very convenient and easy to use. It is a horrible shame that it has been dropped from KDE. BTW: Did I use the word 'kicker' in my original post? I don't see it. Alex: glad to hear that, thanks.
I don't believe this is fixed, we fixed the time, but the date couldn't be fixed for some reason? Reopening.
I used KGlobal::locale()->formatDate() before replacing it by the digital-clock's way of formating the date, could that help?

In TRUNK I don't see AM or PM when time format is: "PH:MM:SS AMPM"
This appears to have been fixed.
I note that the weekday is always shown in the short format even if the system setting is the long format. KDE3 always uses the long format even if the system setting is for the short format. Should we consider this a bug?
My mistake. It still says 9 Feb with the Local set to US.
No, it has not been fixed, it uses QDate which uses the system locale, not the KDE locale, it needs to use KGlobal::locale()->formatDate()
